Me likes that

i bet a lot of the 2019 bikes will have this as rated for ebikes like the ex1 for way less change.

my gx 12spd was about £350.

 

[Fat Rat]

I dont get the EX1
Ive been reading a lot of reviews some on here and there very mixed
I cant see where all that money is for less gears with horrible gaps from what ive read .

for 400 quid id want it made from Vibranium!

Damn thats a chunk of change concidering what else is around for a lot less

Exactly the same manufacturing process is used to make 10 speed and 11 speed chains and an almost identical amount of steel. Can someone explain the 12€ price difference between the two other than marketing mumbo-jumbo?
