I was just reading about the Truvativ HammerSchmidt and some of its possible 'Revolutions'
http://www.chinamtb.com/2008/03/25/join-the-revolution-truvativ-hammerschmidt/

I'm quite interested in the idea of an internal gear bottom bracket, but it would be too much for such a small space.

Another idea could be the universal gearbox

How about a belt drive?

Your ideas?

it sound's good but i would dismiss your idea of a belt drive since the belt itself is part carbon and is always 1 piece so you would have to cut the frame to fit it, i will be on the edge of my bike saddle until this product is revealed lol but until then i will have doubt's since truvative is not exactly 'high end'

Your right didn't even think about how you would fit a belt drive when I posted that. Ok so thats out of the question.

i only remember it from an mbuk article on a orange p7 with belt drive, surprisingly there is no chain growth and no oiling needed plus they are good for over 12 year's, im on it to e-mail truvative for some insight on their system because im intrigued to know moreBook Geek

I keep looking at the Tshirt of the guy with the mustache. Is that a hint to what Sram/Truvativ are up to?

a belt drive would be awesome, it wouls be lighter and alot cleaner. i seen prototype pics from chris king haveing one.

and for cutting your frame, you could probly put the belt on the same way a track on a skidoo is put on.

Actually looking at it here it looks pretty small. Would easily fit on a bike.
