It’s nice to know that the solution to a single uncomfortable jolt I sometimes have on my bicycle when I shift gears can be solved with only a hundred moving parts and a Bluetooth connection.

Imagine not being able to change gears when going up a hill because your headphones wanted to connect with your bike

Me at a Bike shop: "Um...Do you have a Continuously variable transmission that connects to Bluetooth for sale?" Shop clerk: What?

Amazing. An expensive, complex and quite possibly unreliable solution to the problem we never had.
-
You lost me at "blue tooth connection".

Well, I never thought to myself “man my bike is real reliable, how do I make it unreliable?” But if i ever do this is the answer

Imagine going to a bike ride with your friends. Everyone has took off and you're alone in the back yelling "LADS, HOLD UP, MY FUCKING GEARS ARE PAIRING"

As an engeineer, thats really cool. As a cyclist, well, thats useless

"Our next step... getting it from 37kg to just under 20kg."

And when it breaks; no mechanic on Earth will touch it, because it has a CVT.

Advanced Transmissions: Invents a thing Everyone in the comments: no

one spec of dirt: im about to end this mans whole career

"modern solution" to the problem we never had

Thats not a CVT, there is no “continuous” transmission if you have to manually engage the rings, thats just a more complex variable belt transmission
