SRAM is planning something big for 2008. Word on the street is the front derailleur will be a part of the past.
- The gearbox will be a two geared system, available in either a 12 or 14 tooth differential.
- There will be two versions — one using the Stylo crank platform, the other using the Hussefelt.
- It will require that the frame have ISCG tabs for mounting.
- It will utilize an ISIS bottom bracket.
It will be interesting to see the final release. In the meantime, sign up for updates at magicmechanics.com.
