quotes I've read about a bunch of difficulties keeping the 1x10 set ups dialed in. Esp the Sram. Very fussy, the slightest bent hanger will disrupt the delicate precision. The cogs and chain are also thinner and weaker leaving even more chance for slight twists and bends. There is not much wiggle room for mal-alignments. I don't have 1st hand experience about 1x10 but one common note was that the Sram 10x cog's quality seems to be severly lacking vs the 9x cogs. The 1x10 X9 and X7 derlrs quality appears to be lacking also. After I snapped my (1x9) X9 and X0 in 6 mos I changed back to Shimano. Just my experience. You might start with looking at your hanger , though.

quotes I tried using a chain tool on my KMC hollow pin chain (shit chain) in the woods and the pin's end got slightly mushroomed and would not go back into the holes. I have never had a problem rejoining a solid pin Sram or Shimano chain. Live and learn, But after having snapped rejoined chains on long rides far from my vehicle I've stopped trusting rejoined broken chains. I would use master links. I have 2 on mine now and always carry a spare.

quotes The pic Left is tensioned, the pic Right is sagging. PB is correct. It's Not clear who you agreed with originally, Ratts. but all the sarcasm is starting to steer this thread in circles and I think you're catching some flak. Don't sweat it, bro. You know how this shit goes.

quotes If this is supposed take the place of a 2-3 gear derlr, then it's pretty redundant. Incorporate some way to switch the rear 9 with this device, then you'll be cooking with fire!!!!

quotes The limited amount of marketed Gear hubs are goddamned heavier than hell and very expensive. IE: Rholoff, My buddy had a prototype Gearbox Linkbike from BrooklynMW designed for and with the Rholoff. This isnt a new concept and I'm not sure if your idea is better than the current designs from Nicolai or Brooklyn, There isn''t enough info about the gearbox itself. Each little gear in the box was made of steel and the frame's rear end felt disproportionately unbalanced. i will say however that the Rholoff hub is quite a beautiful piece of mech engineering.

quotes Absolutely ... The Pastel colors don't help either. I thought I remembered a short of "FU" attitude to using my sneakers as a brake back when I rode a 20". The whole thing screams "girlie" and I can't see a Testotosterone addled 13 to 18 year old Park or DJ rider bringing themselves to buy anything called Footsie or Buttsie or anything else that ends in "SIE." If this thing costs as much as a pair of Etnies then how does it really save any money if you have to replace the plastic just as fast??? Plus based on this diagram, there's still some unknown mechanical variables. The Thompson adapter seems more realistic.

quotes This 9.9 frame saves you 2 lbs over it's alloy. That's means it'll cost $750.00 per lb more over it's Alum predacessor.

quotes Waking up the next morning after having sex with this frame is like waking up clothless in a hotel room, after spending the night with a beautiful high priced hooker who just drugged you and stole your money and wallet, along with your credit cards. A VERY expensive night out.
