The main advantage of the KBoS in my mind are the AM shifters and the extra strength from the plywood. The main unknown at this point, which could determine the possibility of running a KBoS system, is the bore of the new pulleys. The output shaft on the AM shifter is 1/2" keyed, and as much as I hope that the new pulleys will be hex, this would prevent them from going in a AM shifter. I guess we'll all find out when the Kit Bot is released tomorrow.
