will they compete for lowest selling cost? remains to be seen .

aramid fiber is more flexible , so that is a plus ..

maybe they will support SA 8 speed hubs, they use a 1:1 low.

an internal gear 2 speed overdrive crankset can use another 24t up front.
24x 1.6 is like a 38t,

2.5x its like a 60t small wheels .. and challenging the land speed record, of mr Whittingham.
