  • see, I really hate to make fun of people and if you were hurt I just cant make fun..... but, I cant see it being a common problem that you stand up to peddle while you shift and flip over the front of your bike. I mean if it happens to you im very sorry but im also sorry when people drive cars into trees, I just dont feel like its something most of us have issues with. unless you slip on ice or have a heart attack or something these things should not happen to normal people on a regular basis.

  • Exactly the same situation that is mentioned 5:20 nearly cost my life a few years ago. I literally had the choice of being rolled over by a semi truck or falling down a steep slope full of sharp edged stones/rocks. I chose second. There I laid unconscious for hours, face battered, with a severe concussion and heavily sunburned.

    I retired from biking but I always was missing it terribly. So, watching this video gives me new courage to start again. - BIG BIG SMILE!!

  • They all brag about how low cost the production and all... but how about the maintence ? Does liquid get in there ? Does that liquid that turns solid must be replaced ?

    Still, the current manual gears are a bit fun, feels like shifting a car, I kinda like it :} But I would trade that for something that doesn't require costly maintenance.

  • I wonder if the range goes low enough for rough mountain biking?

  • Amazing how we talk something down just to sell something 8-50x more expensive, ugh.

  • You can, too, shift while pedalling, esp on the cheapest shimano index systems, and the high dollar stuff that is purposely designed to cross 3 or 4 cogs instantly with ramped cassette gear teeth.

    This is very nice though. What kind of spread does it equate to?

  • Why can't you make a lighter version? 

  • can this be used in a rickshaw application so once momentum is gained it becomes easier to pull?? and also instead of changing it by hand can it be set on a say 1-25 ratio to 1
