Along with headset cable routing, I can't see this lasting. Hopefully will go the way of plus sized tyres.

Nailed it.
Timeframe off but yep got there!
Actually rekon the time for gearboxes is ripe now.
- We are almost at the limit of moar gears is better mentality.
- Standards have evolved for ebike motor mounts and naturally this paves the way for gearboxes
- People have gotten used to the idea of a $10k bike

Maybe a DIY standard so that awful mate of yours can never borrow a tool or bike part that they will fix you up for later.

Hardy a prediction. More like a given. Life death, taxes and changing orphaning standards that are not standard in any way.

Even better...no axle fork + wheel interface.

In 2018 SRAM were going to drop 20mm on their Boxxers and go to 15mm across the board.
Can't remember why they didn't but they had worked out there was no real advantage between 15mm and 20mm axles.

I just want to see a class action for some kind of stiffness claim.

Makes sense why they invented "Torque Caps"...

And didn't fix cop heaps of shit for not going 20mm on their 38s when first launched only to have (I think it was Sam Hill) a pro rider talk about the need for some flex in your fork to finesse turns or something that sounded like bullshit that a 15mm gives while a 20mm doesn't?

Here is the article, took some serious bubu buzz words to find again.
Pro riders on Lyxxers, Boxxers with a 29" Lyrik lower.
RockShox Boxxer World Cup - First Ride - Pinkbike
The Boxxer gets a complete overhaul, and is now available in a 29" version with 200mm of travel.

One thing we can take from a lot of articles I've read and watched lately.
The riders have dictated that non plus tyres and wider/narrower than 30mm internal rims are not what they want.
It seems the worldwide MTB community have dictated 30mm internal and 2.4 to 2.5 are the magic spot.
Not that it's a standard but expect sizes of popular wheels and tyres to be 'more available' in these widths.
