Dammit-
Fuck yeah, that sounds mighty interesting. Show and tell required though

Have you actually pre-ordered one? I’ve printed out the direct mount template to check it would fit my nomad and dh bike.
I’d love to have one but it’s the sort of thing I’d really need to try before buying. Think it would be close to £900 after taxes to the UK :(Pretty unlikely I’d pay that for a clutch but would love to see how it feels. You should definitely order one and report back.

Its only fixed at the hub, the freehub is moved to the spider.
I get the idea behind it, and I've seen eeebers ziptie their cassette to the spoke for the same non-pedalling shifting effect. What I'm not convinced about is whether it actually makes suspension work better. I can make pedal kickback happen off the bike, but on the bike have never felt it. The cassette tends to be able to move forward with the wheel on compressions, just look at the Pinkbike huck to flat videos and you can see the chain never really gets tight at the top.
