...but actually...thinking about it...it might be a good idea if you run it with a 34 or 36 at the front!? Just not sure chains are long enough! One of the things I miss from the 2x10 are the heavier gears... However it does look stupid!

Exactly, i'm all for new design, innovation and development of products to make riding better, however all it seems like they do is just add shit on to whatever they've got already
For instance, a clutch mech is genuinely a great piece of tech, as it is now working across the platform, whether you run Sram or Shimano, and a one by drivetrain or not. However, adding another cog is not! If you need a 50t, you either need to MTFU, or go back to a 2 by drivetrain. If you want a higher top end, improve your fitness and go up a chainring!

However...that gold cassette!? We like a bit of chavvy gold...It does make me a bit wet if I'm honest! LOL
I bet the guys from Hope, Uberbike and the likes are thinking...shit, we will now have to do a new jockey wheel, etc, etc...just to keep up! It is a bit stupid, but I can see the point if I was to run a 36 oval at the front for example! However, it's SRAM and we all know that's just wrong!?...LOL
POP....(the sound of a can of worms!?)

Hahaha I was just outside tinkering with the bike. I was tempted to flip the faceplate on my Crankbrothers stem because now it looks so outdated...  |

Just buy a Rohloff 14 speed internal hub gear, no need for any mechs or cassettes, they are fully weather proof, and you can tune the ratios, only downside is....
They are £800+ lol

One of our Wednesday night group rides with one.He just changed his chain after 3000 miles and it didn't really need it.It's never given him any bother,has a twist grip to change gears and you can change gear even if your climbing under full power.It's just the weight he doesn't like
