Let's face it: the season is over, and the i-Motion 9 turned out to be vaporware. Nice job, SRAM, I am getting a Shimano Alfine.
Here in Canada, my distributor had the i 9 in the 07 catalogue, and I was asured delivery by March, but here we are months later and they still don't have em. I have new bikes with the Alfine, but I have not been able to get those on the aftermarket either.
