I wonder if the "Kraut Space Magic" meme for the H&K G11 will transfer to the Pinion Gearbox.Don't you already have both of those german Rube Goldberg devices?

What is that thing?MacGuyvered it back to the car......
It grumbled through a shift about 100 meters before I felt something brush the inside of my leg. Seems the securing bolt fell out. Was a little unexpected.
A strategically placed stick underneath and a Garmin mount rubber band (not pictured) around the top held it in place for a slow(er) ride back.
A Di2 front derailleur hanging by its wires and the cage....What is that thing?
And yet I used both rings just the other day.....Looks unnecessary.
I think Dales Cannon may have nailed it, much as I hate CVT as a concept, the leap forward we are looking for may not be a slung gearbox. Your comment on the mech watch made me realise how obvious that is. I know your invested in it, and my next bike might have a box too, but looking to the future, it's not clear to me this horse and cart needs new spokes on its timber wheels when there's other things available.I wonder if the "Kraut Space Magic" meme for the H&K G11 will transfer to the Pinion Gearbox.
"Whats in that thing?!"
"We taught a watch how to propel a bike!"
That pic is the new Grip shifter design btw. Updated cable routing and ergonomics.

Well if you have two you may as well use them both.And yet I used both rings just the other day.....
Nah, it would've been replaced. The 26 wouldn't have got me to a wind assisted 40km/h on the flat, and the 36 wouldn't have got me up the 20% climb I did on the way to Fox Creek in the Adelaide hills and plan to do again as many times as I can get the thing back over there.Lucky it held on, nice Macgyvering.
Now the big question, would you have replaced a broken Di2 mech or just gone “bugger it” and slapped a chainguide on?
@Cardy George
CVT would still work inside a gearbox-like design with a single chain/belt drive to the rear wheel, especially on a MTB design.I think Dales Cannon may have nailed it, much as I hate CVT as a concept, the leap forward we are looking for may not be a slung gearbox.

Grip shift(er) and economics. Two words that don't go next to each other in a sentence.I wonder if the "Kraut Space Magic" meme for the H&K G11 will transfer to the Pinion Gearbox.
