We are here at Life Time Big Sugar Classic to appreciate the effort of all the athletes pushing their limits out there, and to also show to the crowd our developing system here at MarginalGain in collaboration with Blackwater Bicycles | Titanium, the ORIENT chainring. There’s been a lot of questions about this unique concept, and to address the elephant in room; this is only a PROTOTYPE! This specific version is not the final version that we want to promote as the finish product, available soon for pre-orders on our website. This is just a demonstration of the chain management concept, and we believe this same concept can be applied in a multitude of configurations, what is your take? What configuration would you run with this? We believe this is 1x 16sp cassette enablement. We also appreciate the collaboration with Gulo equipping this bike with their amazing carbon wheels&spokes setup! Good stuff right there.
