SRAM 1x Drivetrain
A recent Trike Asylum blog entry entitled Eulogy to the Front Derailleur inspired me to do a little more thorough investigation of SRAM’s challenge to the front derailleur. Steve gathered a couple of pretty funny videos on the topic, it’s worth checking out the link.
The Case of the Offset Derailleur

Trike Build Phases II and III: Dynamo Lighting, Hydraulic Brakes, and Schlumpf
