shaft drive

[scant]

you'd think they's use them on downhill bikes where chains/rings/cogs etc just get in the way and pedalling efficiency and/or weight aren't the highest priority?

nar, DH is more rohloff/ internal gearbox domain. DHers are secret weightweenies too

I know a lot about these bikes - they are in no way suitable for heavy offroading. But they do look nice.

Internal hub gear systems are just not suited though.

The original Biomega Copenhagen bike was beautiful - no corners cut whatsover. They even had bikes with Pace forks and carbon frames.

They are not so high-end anymore though.

scant "us DHers" are in no way into rohloff hubs as they cost the earth and are in no way strong anoth to with stand the abouse we lash out and weight weenies we are not i save tht for my xc bikes
