sounds like it's time for a Ponytail vs Braids thread

If you read my post, appearances have nothing to do with what I am saying. It's about safety. A ponytail is open ended, nothing will get caught in it. A braid is 20 loops of strong hair waiting for something to catch and twist your neck. I don't appreciate you trying to rewrite my words to act as a defender...

Instead of the Classified system, we need to ressurect the Hammerschmidt. Refine that system, get it lighter, 2x instead of 1.6x overdrive, and now you can run a DH rear cassette-shifter on your enduro bike.

I had that idea too some month ago to use the Hammerschmidt and a GX DH on my enduro bike but the gears were overlaping. And the Range wasn‘t that Great. But I would buy a Hammerschmidt with 1:2.

Just seen Moi Moi Tv. Seriously impressed with Gracey Hemstreet, those final jumps are no joke. Valli's effort following BK was also nuts, considering what is at stake for the season coming. I get very nervous about Louise Ferguson's hair though. A long braid looks dangerous for this sport. If that gets caught on a branch to pull on her...

People assume way too much about gearboxes and belts. Do not judge until your ride one. The reports you read about the drag or gripshift appear to be mostly from people who haven't ridden a gearbox bike and are just repeating what they heard. I have a gearbox bike with a belt drive, 155mm cranks. Full suspension with idler and tensioner. So lots of added "drag" beyond the gearbox itself. It's a big enduro bike that gets used for bike parks and shuttle laps too. I've beat it to hell and back for the last 3 years, broken frames, bent...

Traditional drivetrains have become amazing at shifting under load, but still not ideal. Pinion is suffering here too as the forces in the mechanism are high. It's not impossible to shift under load, you just can't as a user, you can't generate the forces needed. Rohloff does indeed have increased drag. Just like the classified 2spd hub. Don't know how the shifting works with it. While I don't have experience, I am read into the issues with gearboxes and shifting under load. Pinion and effigear at least, no ideas about Rohloff (it's a niche within a niche anyway...). With Pinion...

cogs don't spin when coasting. There is no drag.

Effigear run a fixed rear hub so the chains always spinning. WRP have a similar system with a crank based freewheel. These likely work well on clean fresh chains and get worse from there. You could probably do the same on the pinion as it has a freewheel up front but it would suck for rolling speed. There's no reason to add that drag.

Another point in favour of Pívot, is that the bike has raw footage on a daily basis. We probably will never know how many other frames cracked on those hits. BK tried to preserve the brand by muting the sound, but the interwebz is a dangerous place...

Looks like the gearbox bikes in Hardline Tasmania have no trouble clearing the jumps where BK says he is giving his 100% on. Bad news for the "too much drag" crew I guess
