I still don't see the point of this thread. Gearboxes have been around for years.
er...just to share info about an interesting new option with like minded bike obsessives really...im sorry if you disapprove! ; )
(you can allways ignore this thread from now on)and yes there have been others ( earliest was by a French company called Vilex i believe.....a 5 speed as featured on Mervilex bikes...buggered if i can find any pics mind...) but they never caught on eh?...whereas this looks like it may actually reach the market place
answers a lot of questions in my book....if i could afford a custom built MTB frame wrapped around it i would definitely pay for a maintenance free(ish) mud proof, great ground clearance, no rattling exposed flimsy mechs solution...whats not too like? annual oil change and nothing else to do other than ride?

contains information relating to gears
rather clever system in development by a team of fiendishly clever Germans....can see it working well on DH/FR bikes, but maybe commuters/tourers too?....align it with a belt drive and laugh in the face of dirt!
