gummibear Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I spoke to one of the Shimano Europe guys yesterday and we were chatting about 1-2X12 speeds for road and mtb.He said that Shimano were ready to go into production but that there wasn't a market for it. He also said that with the Trek boost system you could go up to 14 and not need a narrower chain. That 50t at the rear will be the same size as a compact road chainring 50t
Riaan H Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Sounds ridiculous, but it would allow a large chainring so you will havethe same range as 2x top and bottom. Just imagine what that casette will cost though, yikes
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 wasn't a market for it. Wasn't that their opinion of 1x systems when they came out?

JXV Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 He also said that with the Trek boost system you could go up to 14 and not need a narrower chain. Keeping same chain and going to 14 cogs will result in some serious cross-chaining at the two extremes. I forsee chainrings that run on floating mounting points to accomodate this. Also imagine the weight of a 14 cog cassette. Soon they'll be moulded carbon fibre with thin steel facings for the teeth....and cost R10k .

That 50t at the rear will be the same size as a compact road chainring 50t According to this article, Shimano actually has a patent for a 14-speed casette: http://www.fiets.nl/2016/01/24/sram-2017-12-speed-mtb-groep/ Een oud patent van Shimano lijkt relevant te worden. Het beschrijft een 14-speed systeem met een speciale ketting. Een ketting waarbij de brede schalmen over de tanden heen lopen, in plaats van ernaast. En een heel speciale cassette, waarbij de grootste kransen over de spaken heen hangen. http://www.fiets.nl/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/shimano-patent-14-speed.jpg
raptor-22 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 This 1x12 is surely an early leaked Aprils Fool Joke...!
Mada3400 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 goodness they should just cut to the chase and run a CVT!

IH8MUD Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Imagine if the 1X12 end up with the same total range as a 3X10 . . . . Paying more for less taken to a new level . .
robsc Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Could feel like an entirety waiting for that chain to ride up from the 42t to the 50t
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Could feel like an entirety waiting for that chain to ride up from the 42t to the 50tIf it is an 8 tooth gap, that is. May be an entirely different spread.
raptor-22 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 an 8 Tooth gap would be logical.going to need ramps every 60 degrees
TheJ Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I give up. Honestly. Mark my words... At this rate in a few years the entire back wheel will be a cassette 10/11t - 180t. The tyre will mount on a rim that would be machined straight into the cassette's biggest sprocket. I'd go back to 8 speed if it were still available.
