I think the Transmission stuff is fine. I've played with it a shop and pedaled a couple of bikes with it. I believe that it's market permeation will follow that of it's 1x forbearers from ten years ago. First, we'll see smaller aftermarket companies begin to hack into it (Wolf Tooth, etc.). Then the lower cost groups will arrive. Followed by some kind of response from Shimano and then the arrival of base level OEM groups. I'll hop on when a cable version (patents are already out there reputedly) arrives.
