At this rate I'll start saving for the 2020 Multitronic 1x∞ by Shimano.

the funniest thing about this, is that it actually happened

 

 

Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the ******* vanguard of shaving in this country. The Gillette Mach3 was therazor to own. Then the other guy came out with a three-blade razor. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the Mach3Turbo. That's three blades and an aloe strip. For moisture. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened—the bastards went to four blades. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling three blades and a strip. Moisture or no, suddenly we're the chumps. Well, **** it. We're going to five blades.

Is this for reals. So basically you know they already had the tech they just wanted a bunch of folks to spend a crap load of money on 1X11 and then shell out again for 1X12 2 years later. How much you wanna bet they're sitting on 1X14 at this very moment laughing as their 1X12 system goes on sale. I think I'll just sit here behind the cutting edge thanks.

Imagine if the 1X12 end up with the same total range as a 3X10 . . . .

Paying more for less taken to a new level . . :ph34r:

And imagine the 1x12 was a shade heavier than a 3x (50t sprocket vs a 32t + 22t chainrings)

I honestly reckon that with a 32/34 upfront and a 50t at the back you would be able to walk uphill , with a hangover , faster than riding that ratio

I don't really care how often they change the tech - I'll just buy whatever is affordable at the time I need a new drivetrain.

 

At the moment 1x10 is fine for me, I haven't even bothered extending the cassette, still at 36t. 

 

Next bike will probably come with 1x11 because they are pretty standard now, and sure that will also work fine.
