With modern road bikes having twelve cogs on the rear wheel, we don’t accept anything other than the ability to use all twelve. That sounds simple, but it’s not.The goal is also to have as straight a chain as possible. Minimise cross-chaining and maximise efficiency. To do this, can require some clever technology.Introducing, our Driveline Ecosystem…What is Cross Chaining?Cross-chaining …

Sync Ergonomics has a collection of new products but the concept is hardly new and we’ve been working on this one for some time now. There is nothing new about 1X drivetrains and the use of a single front chainring, with gears at the rear can be traced back into the history books of cycling.Famously, David Millar tried 1X in the 2003 Tour de France prologue - a dropped chain costing him the stage win.
