Idk, with the new maxxis dhx it's easier than ever to build up a 40 pound enduro bike, with huge unsprung mass....

WRP were still plugging away at the derailleur in a can concept last year but who knows where it falls on their list of priorities, guy seems to have a million good ideas and no time to get them all out https://www.vitalmtb.com/photos/features/sea-otter-2025-day-1-part-1/wi…

All this gearbox talk has me thinking about all the ones that didn’t take off ~Graduation (Friends forever) by Vitamin C plays ~ I also wonder what a new look at either setup could yield

I hate to say this but you need 3. An ebike to ride when you have limited time or its too hot or you think its too wet or you're too tired or because the trail sucks. An enduro or 150ish bike to ride the fun trails and still pedal but also to put into a bag so you can travel to cool places to ride all the good shit all around the world. A downhill bike because it feels so good. The end.

Shame effigear can't get their act together. I genuinely think it's a better design; no double seal needed for concentric output, no overdrive, etc means out of the box there is a huge potential for efficiency gains, not to mention the removal of an idler.

Definitely a Whyte logo, could conceivably be mr Joe Barnes himself. Bike has the very specialized-esque four bar Whyte uses.

Spotted an interesting DH bike in Verbier today, gearbox, high pivot and the rider was wearing what looks a Whyte Bikes t-shirt

I’ve heard of a longer travel 29er which I’d assume would be the updated HD since ibis just uses flip chips for mullet now. Not sure on timeline though. I’ve also been meaning to message Jank components if they have tried long stroking the ripmo with their long chainstay links. Jumping to 65 stroke should give a ripmo close to 162mm travel.

I’ve been riding a 9sp SmartShift Kavenz G2 set up as a 180/180 superenduro or 200/200 park bike for the past few seasons. There’s definitely a learning curve getting used to shifting slightly differently, and being able to shift while coasting and such. When I ride it consistently everything is fine, if I’m coming off a long period of not riding that bike it’ll take me a ride or two to get used to it again. Shifts to harder gears will happen under full power, it’s just easier gears that can be delayed if you don’t let up slightly. I...

I always let up before shifting, it's just good practice. As for Pinion, apparently it's limited in the shifting mechanism power, not pedal power. On their assembly line they shift it with an external servo motor under full load without problems.

When I first watched the video a few days ago (I refrained from posting here, since some people were getting agitated by all the GB talk), my two takaways were that a). they were happy that someone finally made a frame with a GB that didn't suck, which seemed more about the bike, and less about the GB, and b). they weren't happy with the shifting under load issue. I'm also curious about the second one. On my XX1 Eagle gear, there is still a reasonable shifting-under-load limit. I haven't been watching the power meter when I'm in those situations...
