Jun 11, 2016Jamis Parker 2
$200 USDJamis Parker 2 frame for sell or trade for a 700cc dynamo wheelset that is rim brake compatible. Frame is in great shape save for some scratches. I bought the bike complete as a parts bike and only rode it a few times, but everything seemed to work fine when I rode it including the rear shock. Great ride, but I only really need one mountain bike. I rode it on some downhill lines and did some xc with it. Great jump bike, but for XC it doesn't feel right. Everything pictured is included. I had to use the headset cap on my bike because of the length of the steer tube, but can include the headset cap from my old headset.

First Ride: SRAM's 12-Speed Eagle Drivetrain
I should add it could easily be the case they have not done anything above 12.

First Ride: SRAM's 12-Speed Eagle Drivetrain
Planned obsolescence? I have often wondered if that is the case in shifting technology. Seem like if you released a 14 speed drivetrain you would have a huge edge over the competition, but maybe they are just sitting in a vault somewhere waiting to be used?
Then again does when does adding gears start to add little to no benefit and actually start to hurt the products strength and performance? How big will hub spacing have to get? When is it we will just get smaller and smaller gaps between gears? Is the latter already upon us?
For now my ten speed drivetrain suffices for me, but I am also not the one you would market brand new products to. Especially if they offer little to no benefit over cheap used parts.
