How does that chain tensioner get on for riding over log where you might normally hit your chain ring – looks to be right in the firing line.
Its sprung loaded, so will move out of the way.
Anyone here spending £2000 a year on their drivetrain? I like gearboxes (I don’t want one) but when you have to make shit up to sell them, it makes me sad.
What they are eluding to is expensive mechs (an XT 12 speed it £100) hanging off the back of the bike which can then have the ability to trash a rear wheel if it goes through the spokes. People will buy XTR/XX groupsets which are mega money, so the cost of a gearbox is now no longer a blocking point (Rohloffs used to be significantly more than an X9/X0 groupset back in the day).
I’ve had my G1 for 3 years now, its been faultless, covered 3000miles and must over a million feet of descending. One set of frame bearings, two Zeb CSU’s. When the new bike comes out, I could be tempted.
