The Hidden Problem With Derailleurs - And the Brand Trying to Solve It
"On a recent trip to Ashland, Oregon, I stopped by the Madrone Cycles headquarters to see how this small yet dedicated company is revolutionizing the cycling industry with its innovative and honest approach to repairing and enhancing the modern mountain bike drivetrain. I grew up in Ashland, and I consider it home. I love the trails here and the community of mountain bikers that make this one of the best MTB towns in the United States, and I'll take any excuse to visit and ride."
"I had the opportunity to tour the Madrone HQ, observe the assembly of the Jab derailleur, and build one for myself-a serious honor. After spending a day with some of the team at Madrone, I gained a deeper understanding of the pragmatic approach to customer support and the dedication to improvement that Madrone Cycles demonstrates in its operation.

"Derailleurs are finicky and, depending on how you ride, they can be consumable. With limited aftermarket support and repair options. They can be a costly thing to replace once or multiple times a year, but there is a solution to this problem. Madrone Cycles, based in Ashland, Oregon, is at the forefront of solutions to this issue that has plagued the cycling industry since gears became a standard feature."
