GT 2014: Four models of the Fury - and Two Trailbikes: 650B Sensor and Force
I'd rather my cables take a hit than have a crack or dent in the downtube.. cables are easy to replace, downtubes not so much.

So GT has neutralized the brake jack of the URT, but added chaingrowth? Isn't this like taking a 1990s design and making it better but also worse? Personally I don't want my bottom bracket moving forwards and backwards every time the suspension cycles. My feet hurt just thinking about that.
No 26 present or future? I'm out.
Go Athertons though!

That Honda system was a derailleur and cassette in a box. Not a gear box proper. The gear box idea was just hype.

To The Point - Tire Pressure
@deelight. Ever notice that F1 cars don't have low aspect ratio tires? Same with rally cars. Those low aspect ratio tires are to make a car feel faster(and maybe look faster), not to make it actually faster. Width of rim must be suitable to width of tire chosen.

Atrokz, you can get the most out of your bearings by removing them after a few months, and rotate them 90 degrees. This spreads the wear on the races. Oh and yes you will see bearings used "this way in other industry". It's all about not undersizing the bearing which happens way too often.

Kron, you would probably have to custom make spacers to fit. And I mean FIT. The best material would be stainless steel, and they would have to be highly polished.

Sidermang, I agree, roller bearings have huge of potential. Devinci used them for a while, but couldn't get the bugs out. Poor tolerance between the axle and the rollers meant that dirt would get in. My chilli pepper was like a wet noodle in the rear end, even after the bearings were replaced.

I think he has the talent to win, but when he's leaving 30% of pedaling power on the table by using flats...
