Re: pic: Building blocks of a 1 lb shifting transmission

Ha wow leave it to CD to take everything literally. It will probably turn out closer to 1.5lbs per transmission. This was really just supposed to show off some cool gears that will save a decent amount of weight over their steel counterparts

They are 7068 aluminum hobbed and anodized. These should also hopefully be available for purchase by next season for anyone interested in saving a big chunk of weight and higher quality over andymark gears.

Cory, had we been investing our time into making these versus just machining steel gears we would have gone the steel route as well but given the choice to do both without any extra resource allocation we went with the aluminum. The only downfall was the wait (no pun intended) but that was remedied by running steal gears in the interim
