Great looks, but why did they use that old-fashioned gussets TT/ST (non milled-type gussets typically sorted out since 2010)? Hope your gearbox unit works flawlessly. Have fun!

[cyril_88]

I don't know, i think they use this one when gusset are very short because i have no requierement for gusset .

first look!!!

[Whafe]

Very sweet, looking mean as... Colour combo is sensational....

[Warp]

That's friggin' awesome... Totally sweet...

Makes me think about getting the mothership to make me a 650B rear triangle with thru-axle... Scratch that, makes me want a Pinion!

[norcosam]

That is stunning,great colours aswell

[patirwin]

internal geared bottom bracket (IGBB) is innovative and the first real improvement in cycling design in a long time IMHO. I never liked IGH rear wheels but this is something I can totally support.

Thanks for leading the charge

Source? It runs in an oil bath, there shouldn't be anything to grease.

Simon,

I wrote to the mothership, but no answer.
Are the new 2013 rockers for the AC retrofittable to a 2010 AC?
What would be the expected travel of the two positions if so?

Thanks and sorry for bothering you.

I suspect not but you never know. Next time I speak to them I'll ask.
