The point I (and I believe Cory) was making is that the AM single speed (and the 05-06 KOP trans) is the ideal Kit transmission; It's easy to work with for rookies, Incredibly durable, rather cheap to produce, and most importantly it's as simple as possible (We don't want first to give out shifting transmissions you can just bolt on).

EDIT: Interesting information there Paul. The AM single speed has the exact same gears, right? how hard would it be to do the back to back with two Single speeds?

EDIT2: dtengineering... Team 33 put out an excellent package for their shifter with a complete itemized parts list and a total cost, very useful.

The banebots are semi reliable now... but compare how much torque one of those can take before destroying itself to the AM single/Old KOP.... The safety factor in those two make it so you'll never, ever have to worry about them.

I love the idea for an arm gearbox that could take small/Big CIM, FP and globe...
