The Marginal Gain Orient: A 2x Drivetrain that Shifts Itself

Well that's different.

From the description I thought that the drivetrain would change ratios itself. I wonder if this same kind of pattern could be used to bridge 2 different size front sprockets?

That would be the main advantage of this, instead of just a little less cross chain noise. Much more overall gear range that comes from 2x chain ring, that don't need to overlap. They don't appear to have done this in example for some reason.

Of that could be replicated by something that could be bolted together rather than machined as one piece I bet it could be a pretty popular mod

Cross chaining isn't that big of a deal, imo. How often do you spend a lot of time at the edges of your cassette? And at the big end I think it hardly matters.

Yeah a major point of 1x is less chance of derailed chain. Also less to clean is nice too.
