Best bit of this whole shabang is finally getting rear der hangers to some semblance of one to rule em all. This release was the industry's worst kept secret in a long time. The extra hype and bandwagoning of shops on the socials accentuated my meh. I used to drool over parts and fell for hype (Hulllllooooo Kooka cranks!) and now I just don't see the need to swap what for me works aces and fits with my old mech sensibilities of make sure you can find replacements easily. I don't see this offering any revolutionary, game changing benefits that justify the price tag. It's an interesting engineering exercise, but how it translates to the enthusiast is awfully questionable.
