I was wondering what everyones thoughts were on the design of phaser gear box
NosmokeMTB - Deciding on the materials
I personally like the design. If you have the fabrication capabilities for the frame and the derailer/tensioner setup it would be fairly easy to make. The cassettes can be store bought, although trying to find the right kind of cassettes that are linear and would work with a givin chain length and tensioner setup.
I see quite a few advantages to this type of setup vs. a standard mountain/road bike derailer system. Things are self contained and when in gear the chain is in a straight line.
I've been trying to reverse engineer from the photos but am still looking at different off the shelf cassettes that would work.
Let me know what you guys think.
