So there's a new "standard" bike drivetrain coming called G-Boxx...it's all about internal planetary gears around the bottom bracket, with no need for derailleurs.
One claimed "advantage" is the new system allows the chain to run inside of the frame. Now, think about that and look at this picture: tinyurl.comv7o0Open ↗
Isn't this begging for mud to come in through the chainstay, settle in your gearbox, and clog and corrode everything all to hell?
Seriously, Bill Wheeler may be on to something. Next, Shimano will be adapting 10-speed to mtbs, as if 9 weren't already too many.

Personally - I don't expect to see anything pioneered by Nicolai become "standard" for a couple of centuries - but I may just be a Luddite curmudgeon. Maybe...
