So presume complete bikes equipped with these drivetrains will be close to $20k and e-bikes even higher given current bike prices. Youch.Predictably exxy

Like @Asininedrivel part of my brain is interested is shiny new stuff that obviously took a lot of thought and work to produce but objectively, there is not a chance in hell I would ever justify that cost. I just checked and saw i spent $350 on an 12-speed SLX shifter, derailleur, cassette and chain. I also recently spent $150 on cranks. So $500 for a very good quality 12-speed groupo. I know it doesn’t compare to what SRAM just dropped but it’s all i need. Probably even more than i need. Could have gone Deore or 11 speed and still had as much fun on the trails…Fucking hell. Should've lubed up before opening that link because I now feel more than a little violated. How are gearboxes not the norm yet?
Nope. This is the old TR12, new one is EVO12This one?
TRP G-Spec TR12 1x12 Rear Derailleur - Shifter Kit
Derailleur: The new TR12 rear derailleur is able to provide a quiet and accurate ride over the roughest trails. The key feature to this pursuit is the Hall Lock. During the Race season, lead mechanic for Intense Factory Racing, John Hall, noticed excessive movement around the b-knuckle when...www.mtbdirect.com.au
He lost me when he was going on about issues with factory dropout alignments and this was worse than a normal hanger which has some adjustability. Isn’t the derailleur essentially mounted to the rear axle and therefore better aligned to the cassette?Interesting take
Yes, unless it's not, then you're f#$#ed. I think the effects of what he is banging on about won't be too bad from new (in most cases).He lost me when he was going on about issues with factory dropout alignments and this was worse than a normal hanger which has some adjustability.

It is, but then the sides of each clevis (which are completely rigid), will clamp onto the sides of the dropout which may or may not be parallel or perpendicular with the axle.He lost me when he was going on about issues with factory dropout alignments and this was worse than a normal hanger which has some adjustability.

The new Highlander had just went UDH apparently. Funny when they didnt make that decision with the Claymore.So anyone have a theory what they will do for GX AXS. Will there be UDH and other hanger model?
Or is SRAM going all out and forcing UDH on all (not a bad thing I guess) will their cable drivetrains go the same route? Interesting and wonder what if any response Shimano has given their direct mount not taking off.
Saw that, given the Claymore is enduro and Highlander is trail I can’t see them going too long and slack, never know though.The new Highlander had just went UDH apparently. Funny when they didnt make that decision with the Claymore.

Get ready for my prediction that I said would come when they caught up with demand.Saw that, given the Claymore is enduro and Highlander is trail I can’t see them going too long and slack, never know though.
The new SRAM AXS explains some of the new bikes (Ibis refresh comes to mind) with a 55mm chainline.
