Razors Edge ★ Posted March 27 Share #4 Posted March 27 This is too much progress for me!!!! I also saw a great video on the SRAM narrow-wide chainrings. Seemingly a super "simple" idea that makes dropping chains a huge rarity due to the constant maximization of contact between the chain and the chainring. Really neat tech that should be the standard across all bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted March 27 Share #5 Posted March 27 Makes me want to build another bike.........till I realize that I don't really need one. I am no longer subject to N+1 for bikes. RC cars on the other hand..................... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted March 27 Share #6 Posted March 27 It looks very interesting. I'm assuming that you need to remove the rear derailleur to remove the rear wheel. Actually that might make things easier as sometimes getting a normal setup to engage the chain can be a PITA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that might make things easier as sometimes getting a normal setup to engage the chain can be a PITA. I am thinking the downside is that rear tire changes on the trail will mean sand, mud, and turtle sneezes will get into the derailer, since it will need to rest somewhere other than being attached to the frame. Not that that stuff doesn't happen incidentally on a ride anyway, but it seems harder to prevent adding much more of it in case a flat repair has to happen on the trail. Or I could just be picking nits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
