So all old wheelsets are now obsolete & only shimano & DT Swiss will be able to make bike wheels from now on for shimano 12spd group however long shimano decide to keep it restricted acesss for the new standard.
& a Shimano wheel won't swap with SRAM stuff either...
Good time for for shimano reclaim dominance of the wheel market from other manufacturers etc like novatech hubs.
Wonder if the idea is for mircospline trickle down eventually across the whole groupset range?
5 yrs time claris bike with a mircospline hubs?

Sounds like something for those strange mountain biking types.0 -
Is for mtb atm but reckon it will go road eventually.

Speculation but might be for road 9200 group next yr though.
Some disscussion:

Can't see it going road unless single chainring takes over road too.
Which would be stupid IMHO.
It's a whole lot of expense and complication just to get a 10t cog on your cassette, isn't it?0 -
Well there a team racing trying out SRAM X1
Apparently they keep dropping chains
