The 'big' ring centered in the chainline , like the middle of a triple.

yep, I mentioned xx1 earlier. it's too costly for many people at the moment but if they trickle the technology down it could really work nicely for a lot of applications. Some people who don't like xx1 are dissappointed that they didn't go all the way down to a 9 tooth cog. There are some people jury rigging cassettes and fitting them with 9tooth cogs in the mtb world as well.
