I have a Mi-Tech Tyke with a pinion p1.18. When I first got it in2013, the gearbox was good... but kind of noisy and it occasionally clunked - which was alarming. HOWEVER over the past 4 years, Pinion has upgraded the box - twice!! What I have now is a triumph of engineering. It makes almost no noise. It shifts like butter (up to about 8 gears in a go). When you shift, you are IN the gear... not about to be in it once you turn the crank. It feels so solid. God I love this piece of metal. When I get home from a ride, I give the bike a quick squirt down - no tedious washing or chain cleaning. I think the reason people are not complaining more is that they have just resigned themselves to a shitty life riding a regular drivetrain - It's like a person living in North Korea - complaining every day, aside from getting you shot, would just get you down, so you bite your lip and say it's not that bad. Luckily most of you are not surrounded by a barbed wire fence, so what are you waiting for?
