    Okay here is the first Black ANO G-1 to come out. They are doing Blue and Silver also.

    It is also 1.5 LBS lighter so mid 38's easily with real DH parts.

    Dang. I'd like to give that a try. No derailleur. How sweet is that.

    What is the wheel path like? It looks like it goes back pretty far. Is the wheel path centered around the alfine? (Edit: I now see the chain tensioner)

    How would the chain growth affect pedal feedback? Is it isolated?


    How does this design affect braking and susupension movement?

    The net growth is just over an inch it's 16.6 static and is about mid 17 fulled compressed. Follows fork almost exactly.

    I'm assuming you can put on the size of cog(s) that best fit your riding. So you can move the gear as a whole up or down a bit?

    Yeah he includes a 21tooth and you can go down or up 19, 23 to adjust ratio if needed. It runs a 32 tooth up front.

    Excited to see their AM offering. Although I probably won't be able to afford it.

    This has me thinking outside the boundaries of my wallet. I really hope this gearbox trend takes off. I've had it out with every one of my derailleurs.
