Wow, the irony here is almost poetic: contest winner guesses correctly that Gwin would take it, and walks away with the exact drivetrain that Gwin did NOT use to take that win, even though most of those parts were dangling off his bike like dead weight. You can't make this shit up.

It's not the price. I don't care how much it costs because I'll still buy what I can afford. There are two big reasons why I am a "hater": it retains the front derailleur and it is a solution for something that is not broken. I despise front derailleurs and see their existence as the main obstacle preventing stronger and lighter frames with better geometry. As long as frame manufacturers have to design around the front derailleur, frames will always have compromises in strength, weight, and/or dimensions. The bearing that receives the highest load is the drive-side main pivot bearing...

I agree with BT on this point for sure, but still... MTB + rock (even XC guy) and you are out $1000.00... Think about it. Shop guys: Think of the people who damage their bikes in the 1st month of ownership and blame the bike shop because "it's a new bike. It should not have broken." Now that same issue and they are told it will cost $1000.00. Good luck calming that customer down before they make a HUGE scene in your store.

"I wish I had electronic shifting on my mountain bike," said no cyclist ever.

Shiiiit, keep this away from my bike(s). R&D, please spend more time trying to replace the derailleur with something better, not making it more $$$.

I can't believe they put that out with a triple... Credibility lost. And, it works great on road bikes for sure, but i can't afford a $1000.00 rock strike on my MTB! It is bad enough with current high end parts! Imagine, one little crash or one missed line: $1000.00. No thanks.

Dirt comes off the front wheel too, when you are turning... And I heard better music last time a blood vessel popped in my skull. Sorry, not my vote.
