Ever had that moment when you're cycling and something just... snaps? Yeah, we’ve all been there.

This article talks about PLA gears in 3D printed bicycle drivetrains that... well, don’t seem to fail. Apparently, they can handle all that torque without breaking down, which sounds kind of cool, I guess. Biking is rough on gear, and it can be a hassle when things go wrong.

Sometimes I wonder if I should just stick to walking. But hey, maybe trying out these new gears could change that. Who knows?

Check it out if you're into that sort of thing.
