• have we moaned about the new sram drive train yet?

    hilarious stuff, real wallet inspection type product.

  • hilarious stuff, real wallet inspection type product.

    It's expensive like anything new, but it's actually really interesting from an engineering POV. No B Screw or adjustors, modular, etc is really good potential filter down tech for the future. Imagine if everyday riders never had to adjust limit screws again.

    I know that's easy if you know how, but just yesterday I was sorting my neighbours bike cos normal people don't know how it works.

    Anyway, cool to hate and all that, but I think in a few years a lot of the 'features' could be on affordable main stream components. Just like clutched mechs from the not to distant future.

  • It's the problem to a solution. Has some great features but it has been overshadowed by the stupidity of removing the crash damageable cheap mech hanger, and beefing up the derailleur.
    So if you crash, your £700 derailleur is probably fine but your frame is snapped. Not Sram's problem.

  • Imagine if everyday riders never had to adjust limit screws again.

    Everyday riders never touch limit screws. They're set in the shop and not touched again until the bike is in a skip (except by another shop). Or did you mean every day riders like us lot that ride "every day" :)
