Bicycle Tech Drivetrain Advances Showcased

whoda writes "For many years, bicycles have had very few advancements in drivetrain technology. This is finally changing. The newly formed g-Boxx Standard has been incorporated into the new Nicolai Nucleon TFR bicycle frame. This bike uses an internally geared 14 speed planetary gear system, mounted in the center of the bicycle, to drive the rear wheel using a conventional chain. The design allows the chain to run inside of the frame. This removes many fragile components from the bicycle, and allows a more rigid frame structure to be made. Evil Bikes have also shown a protoype Evil 2013i hardtail which also incorporates this new standard - I've found the toy I want for the holidays."

Pure fun

According to the article: "Pure fun is guaranteed."

For how many days, I wonder? What if after 20 days, the pure fun just goes away for me? Do you take it in for a free repair?

Slashdot Effect..

In my day, all we had were uphill bikes. Both ways.
