It’s nice to know that the solution to a single uncomfortable jolt I sometimes have on my bicycle when I shift gears can be solved with only a hundred moving parts and a Bluetooth connection.

[j.orzech]

In Shot Productions: "How many moving parts do you have?"


Advanced Tranxmissions: "yes"

[PascalSommerMovies]

"compact mechanism"
mhm mhm ok go on
"connected via bluetooth"
NONONONO I HATE IT CTRL-W

[zefradragmagiestprominence]

Imagine not being able to change gears when going up a hill because your headphones wanted to connect with your bike

"Something's loose"
"Great, let's check and regrease all of the 200 joints!"

[dingdingdingdiiiiing]

Amazing. An expensive, complex and quite possibly unreliable solution to the problem we never had.

WHO WOULD WIN???
An Over Engineered Bicycle Gearing System
or
a small rocky boi

[benjaminvoisin]

As an engeineer, thats really cool. As a cyclist, well, thats useless

[TheEduardoafd]

Thats not a CVT, there is no “continuous” transmission if you have to manually engage the rings, thats just a more complex variable belt transmission

[nysef]

Came to comments to see if there was actually an issue which forced the creation of this to overcome it

was not disappointed, love you guys

[SGTomce]

Imagine going to a bike ride with your friends. Everyone has took off and you're alone in the back yelling "LADS, HOLD UP, MY FUCKING GEARS ARE PAIRING"

[who]

Advanced Transmissions: *Invents a thing*
Everyone in the comments: no

[looksintolasers]

You lost me at "blue tooth connection".

[theofficialsikris]

And when it breaks; no mechanic on Earth will touch it, because it has a CVT.

"Our next step... getting it from 37kg to just under 20kg."

[kevinmael]

Who would turn their bicycle into a Ford Taurus with transmission problems?

[Videoswithsoarin]

one spec of dirt: im about to end this mans whole career

[merdanchee]

"modern solution" to the problem we never had

[lho]

I hope this was engineered for the fun of it.
