I wonder what Shimano are plotting to counter SRAM 1x11?

i suspect it will be ground breaking, they are top of teh food chain afterall??

 

Maybe 1x11 electronic?

And the there is the Hydraulic boys from Across......that will have to come and upset the apple cart with their version of this which should be all means be lighter, faster, smoother than anything we know :)

FYI, SRAM weren't the first to come up with a stepped freehub to enable smaller sprockets.

That was Shimano!!

 

They can re-implement the Capreo system

im really curious what shimano is up to, not like them to stay so quiet on the MTB side of things for a while, all the sponsored XCO guys are still riding 'old' 2x10 XTR......?

From what I've heard Sram have patented the XX1 style tooth pattern and the 10/42 style rear cassette , if this is true it leaves the Shimano boys with their pants down .

I'm not sure with Wolf copies but if this is true the Shimano guys are in a bit of k@k .

Well then they can go 9/41 or 9/43.

 

I think they've patented the method that they make the cassette and/or the freehub fixture method.

Can you patent a big sprocket?

So pretty but still looks expensive. Will be good to see local prices.
