Hard agree. Wish I kept my 10spd as well. All the issues I read about with Shimanos new 12 speed shifter pooing the bed and rear mechs dying and poor build quality on SRAM Eagle all for one more gear. Having said that would like to try AXS!

I reckon Microshift's next iteration of Advent X will be the one to look at.
If they can knock some weight off it would be great but can’t argue with the price point.

I thought it was lighter than most anyway?
Hmm. Similar weights to normal GX 12 speed. I will take that back.

I thought the shift cable shredding was the biggest problem...?

Not read much on them apart from initial reviews. Ouch.
That’s awesome.

Shame it can't go in the BB, but promising tech regardless.

And we have all been waiting for a smart though axle.
I wonder if it could be used as a gear splitter in a wide range 5 or 6 speed using a wireless derailleur?

DT Swiss just updated the 350 range - lighter, better machined and 'an upgrade to 36T SL lightweight but standard Star Ratchet pairs (from 18T standard on the previous generation 350) means twice as quick engagement'

I thought this one was even more interesting.
Converting the 370 pawl hubs to the ratchets. Although buying both tools for removing/installing the inner rings might add up.

For real - I read that the other day and I am still confused as to how it works.Magical sponges that make your air chamber's volume bigger
I'm struggling with that article / claim on first read. We see use of activated carbon in adsorption media in air quality control devices due to the high surface area / porosity etc. But .... how the hell can you increase the effective gas volume of a space by adding something solid (albeit porous) in there?Magical sponges that make your air chamber's volume bigger
