@Velo10109 ай бұрын
MTB’s with gear boxes is the future. We have come a long way from center pull brakes to cantilever brakes to hydraulic disk brakes. From hardtail to full suspension. Now we need to see leaps in the drivetrain. Gear boxes are the leap.

Your blind zeal for future tech and so called “progress” is a mindset i detest. Newer in many cases is not better. In fact, simpler is often better. It is not a big deal to replace a cog on your cassette, but a sealed system drivetrain goes out… now you’re talking higher cost or more complex repair. The average joe rider thats keeps bikes for 10+ years want reliability and easy fixes
@dantindley51819 ай бұрын
@@mtbdawg4987 well its a good job that gear boxes basically dont fail. Just remember the amount of maintenance of a gearbox vs a traditional mech drivetrain is gonna save you a fuckload of money in the long run anyway. And when it comes to service and repair, effigear and pinion gearboxes are no different to the one in your car or motorbike; standard planetary & shaft gears. And even if it is that much more expensive, fucking everything is when its new to the industry, itll come down when it becomes more common

Wow...yet again seaotter doesn't disappoint, the pinarello dogma is a very nice looking machine, as well as the specialized at the end, loving the joins & lugs on the frame, really nice, it's also good to see belt driven bikes with internal hub gearing, as the two go hand in hand for those round the world low maintenance epic adventures, personally i would like to see more of that design as you loose all that extra weight as well as constant maintenance & worry of failing parts when in the deepest & remote places around the world were you can do without mechanical headaches, seaotter is a great place to have gogglebox eyes to drool over all the new & next generation of bikes & tech.
