Ghost,
MBer's living paycheck to paycheck probably buy the Dax China made clone for 1/2 price. Offering a $20-$25 OPTION isn't going to hurt anyone and I'm fairly certain they will sell like hotcakes.
I'll start a poll and see how many folks would be interested in buying a chain tensioner for $25 bucks. SBP is a great product but not your fault bike chains can't handle the power.
Thanks,
Drew

We haven't stalled, we just don't see it as a necessity. Maybe a nice to have or convenience but when 90% of the MB population is living paycheck to paycheck we would rather get something that is good quality and may take 5 minutes of maintenance every few hours of use rather than making something so expensive no one could afford it. There is a drawback to having something too good in that one becomes complacent if there is never anything to maintain and will begin to ignore the other basic maintenance items required on bicycles like tires pressure, brakes, chain lubrication and nuts and bolts in general. We will revisit this as maybe an aftermarket part or option.
As far as the tetra chain wheel, we (SBP) has nothing to do with that. I know Fabian and I have had many email exchanges on the merits of front derailleurs and multiple front chainrings. I still say that for most peoples application they are more hassle than they are worth. Now please understand that what Fabian does is outside the norm for most of us, he hauls stuff around that would make my little China girl cringe which is why he needs a larger range of gears but for most people there just isn't an advantage to using a front derailleur.
