I'm gonna guess he's putting together 12sp freehubs and triple cranksets, which is silly because the 10-11-12 sp setups largely negate the need for a triple.

With electronic shifting, cadence and speed sensors, heart rate monitors and bike computers, shouldn't automatic shifting be a thing by now? Imagine what great arguments that would come from that.

- The new drivetrains feature Free Shift and Auto Shift technologies, where the bike can change gear while coasting and automatically select gears for you

But now there is only a max of 12 gears, wouldnt 15 or 18 give a rider a better selection of gears with small steps between them.?

Wait, I thought there are bikes with 36 (and even more!) gears. Now we're down to 12?
So you can recognize one of the benefits of having more gears, but you still rant against it?

If I don't see this bike pretty soon, I'm gonna start thinking that you are just making stuff up.

9 speed da cassette - 180g ish
12 speed da cassette - 222g
now i know why i’m so slow - those three extra cogs and their 40g of rotational mass are slowing me down! of course, the chain is 30g lighter …. but let’s not get too realistic about this!

all you’d need to add is a speed sensor and it would just be software at that point.

All those batteries are already there. I think everyone is right, you are just on BF to derive some thrill from stirring the pot.
