interesting that SRAMs taken interest, but of course there may not necessarily be the capabilities for our uses, maybe only the commuter market. Would like more info, that thing was more of a vanity piece
It's been quite depressing how little the gearbox field has been advancing. "the gearbox thread" has been dead for about a year and a half. Hopefully things will pick up. This looks good, but far from ready for use on bikes. What I'm really excited for is the new Nicolai G-Boxx 2 / G-Con standard.
Or the BCD Cogbox.
Or the production version of the Honda.
Or what about the e13 Superbox, which seems to be on hold.
And yeah, I wonder what Specialized is going to go with. I wrote them about that and they replied: "Although I can't comment on what our designers have in store, I can tell you that they are aware of that technology."
It will be interesting to see how things play out. But only time will tell... time will tell.
I do see Specialized being one of the most likely companies to add the gear-box to their DHbike. Hopefully SRAM will come up with something good.
Like Steve siad more in depth info is needed. It seems to be like the old honda Grear box, with cams in place of a bunch of toothed rings. Maby this one works better.
a SRAM internal hub that would be able to take offroad abuse more than their current commuter internals would rock!
something ala the Rohloff, but lighter. that is something that could absolutely kill the market, if they could do it at a competitive weight and price.
