It’s loopy to suppose that 10 years in the past, the fashionable 1x drivetrain was simply beginning to catch on. SRAM had launched their XX1 1×11 group the yr prior, however for a lot of riders, it was nonetheless too quickly to ditch their present drivetrains. Abruptly, we began seeing wide-range cassette adapters popping up, which allowed riders to change present 10-speed teams.
This brings us to OneUp Element’s first-ever product, the 42T Expander Sprocket.
Ten years in the past at the moment, I used to be the primary to report on the brilliant inexperienced sprocket. That’s one in all my favourite elements about this job – discovering thrilling merchandise from new and upcoming manufacturers, and getting to inform their story. True to my phrases 10 years in the past, that unique Expander Sprocket continues to be holding up properly. It was even nonetheless in service on a ‘loaner’ bike till only in the near past.
To have a good time their 10-year anniversary, OneUp Parts can be seeking to reward their very first prospects. In honor of the 42t on that first product, OneUp is refunding the primary 42 individuals who purchased an Expander Sprocket – even adjusted for inflation. The corporate has already reached out to as a lot of these first prospects as they might, however should you haven’t heard from OneUp, they’d such as you to get in contact!
Congratulations to OneUp Parts on the anniversary!
