Anybody ever tried/invented a sprung splined moving single front chain ring that would move across with rear mech just by chain tension?

Ah that explains things. Guess there will be a weight saving in there somewhere. Clutch mech dispenses the need for a chain guide on the front. Cheaper large range cassettes may be heavy, but if you loose two chainrings off the front then you should still be better off. Can't justify the cost myself to change away from what I have.

42T is for wussies
No idea what the owner is up to. Either he's going to attach a turbine to that or he's building a bike that can climb skyscrapers.

Having had a look its a very impressive setup but crazy money for most of us mere mortals.
There's some well thought out things like the front chain ring having completely different shaped teeth to the 'norm'
The cassette is machined so weight is only marginally heavier than a high end 9/10 speed mtb cassette.
It all makes a lot of sense simplifying the mechanicals, just have to see if it filters down to something more of us can afford.. For now I'm sticking with my 9speed triple setup. :shock:

Probably measured without cogs.
