Hello Quimper Bike Components Team, This is Vutuk Design and Media, led by Senior Engineer Ashraf Ali Shaikh. With 15+ years of experience in mechanical engineering and product development, our agency specializes in bringing complex automotive and cycling innovations from concept to production-ready design. We understand that a 16-speed human-powered gearbox needs to prioritize weight, efficiency, and sealing against the elements, all while fitting a compact Q-factor. Questions: Is the gearbox intended to mount to a standard Pinion-style bridge, or is it a proprietary frame interface? What materials are you targeting for the gears (e.g., hardened steel vs. titanium for weight savings)? Does the design currently include the shift mechanism (indexing/actuation), or is that part of the scope we need to develop? Are there specific patent constraints or prior art we need to avoid infringing upon during the detailed design phase? I invite you to visit our profile and portfolio to see examples of our complex assembly designs and technical documentation.
