I seriously doubt the gearbox revolution is ever coming to Meat-powered bicycles, sorry. Riders don’t want me-bikes that look like e-bikes and massive non-bike companies with huge budgets haven’t found ways to get the efficiency improvements called for.
I’d love to see a future with fewer gears. I’ll take wide-5 any day. How does 11/18/25/32/39t with nice chainline in every cog sound? Pick your chainring to optimize gearing for local terrain.
