I saw this on Pink Bike yesterday. Retail is something around $800.00. I think that I will stick to my MRP, LRP (Retail is $125.00). If you keep your chain short and fresh it should not have a problem. There are so many moving parts, it looks like trouble. I tend to shy away from speciality parts. If I break that BB in Moab, am I going to be able find another one in town? Then do I feel like waiting 2 weeks from QBP to get another one? My $.02 Eh? I saw this on Pink Bike yesterday.

I see so many applications for this. I'm for one, so tired of my chain flopping on my 3 ring crank when doing all-mountain rides, yet I don't want to drag along a chain tensioner up and down a mountain all day. On my 29er rig, the low bb height has always been an issue. (29er's tend to have BBs that drop 1-2" lower than comparable 26" bikes). This could solve that issue. No more crank-bite on every log on the trail. You know what they say about front derailleurs... when they're on, they're on, but when they're off, they're off-ful! Front deraileurs have always crapped-out earlier for me than rear derailleurs... I think the shift plates just wear down faster. This technology fixes that as well. I'm having dreams of a Hammerschmidt All-Mt. up front and a Rohloff 14spd churning in back. That would be a killer setup. Durability is my only question though... all those tiny teeth. How do they seal it? I suppose if it's made in Germany, it may be ok. The HammerSchmidt technology is in short – awesome.
