There’s a reason SCHRAMMS is all-in on 1x

I saw a vid of the “transmission” and it looks really nice actually. It is technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Light Bicycle is kinda crowd-funding an ultralight tubular rim:

Neat, but certainly not for me. It’s esoteric and I think they’re using the crowd-funding approach to gauge interest more than anything else, which seems fine, I suppose. They’re also offering for people to join a “panel” which makes me curious.

They’re estimating the total weight on a disc wheelset built with these, extralite hubs, and their carbon spokes would come in at 718g… For the whole wheelset.

yeah I’d not want to turn around and ride that back down the hill
