So stoked for this! I remember meeting Kyle as he was rolling up to BME’s in CO with a tiny truck full of bikes and a giant grin. Such an inspiration for what the sport should be.

The driver is license free, for hub manufacturers to make compatible hubs that utilize the drive body. I'm not sure that the X-Dome cassette interface is free to use for cassette manufacturers. I'm only basing that on this article I read a while back. I don't use Sram drivetrains, as I don't like their shifters so I don't know which manufacturers makes XD compatible cassettes. https://www.bikemag.com/gear/components/shimano-unveils-next-xtr/ "After all, SRAM had been exclusively using Shimano's HG freehub body until it introduced XD.

This has to be a giant MTB corporate conspiracy to get us riders to buy more stuff. All of the new "standard" parts have been designed to fail at the same time (today), and by making it seem like a harmless, fun-filled day in the woods, we're unknowingly entering in to a war zone of broken plastic and metal.

Maybe he was held back by those ridiculously small wheels back then? The jump to the bigger and obviously better 27.5" wheels must have made all difference. Or maybe it was switching from carbon to aluminum. Proof that alu is better? I'm not sure when Trek made the switch to 650b and I'm being fully sarcastic btw
