Newly Released Suspension & Components General

[Nambra]

The SRAM Eagle T-Type stuff looks very interesting - being German designed of course it's over-engineered, but it is good that they targeted "reliability, shifting under load, and ease of use" in product development.

I watched the WWC video about it this morning and that Magic Pulley is cool - the lower pulley on the XX / XX SL derailleur has a toothed outer ring that can rotate independently of the spoked central part, and can keep spinning if a stick gets caught in it. Not a problem if it's a solid pulley... guess it's all about the grams at that level.

Apparently the derailleur is user serviceable too - you can get replacement parts like the pulley cage, side panel and outer swing cage (parallelogram?).

Ahahahahahahahaha..... fuck

Luckily, I'm quite poor atm (owing to recent stupid bike related decisions)

Not in the mid range at all! There will be bigger tears than last years model when that rear derailleur gets bent on a tree root.

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?

I appreciate it's probably the same weight as a gearbox, but no.

Jokes aside, it is bullshit hard to get Shimano 12sp stuff at the moment anyway.

The XO is more than I paid for my 08 Reign X1 new and the XX (and XX-SL) are more than I paid for my Smuggler lol

All of the above are probably worth more than my car

And if no one has noticed, not backward compatible except for the new shifter.
Also not compatible with 97% of bikes due to the UDH mounting....

Quite a few have taken it on in the last few years.

Yup, but it is the last 3ish years (hence 97% not compatible).
Would be interesting to run a poll here on how many have a compatible bike...

 

[Live2DieTrying]

Surely some frame manufacturers or companies like Woolftooth will quickly release kits to adapt frames that don't use UDH.
A few spacers and a blanking plate to fill the place previosly occupied by the hanger.

It seems most who have redesigned a frame in the last year two have taken it on, even XC race bikes and youth bikes... even Specialized

Interesting to see all the new Tranny designs with them but the Spur only got a paint job and remained the same design.

About time someone seen some sense (though SRAM), there must be some 300+ derailleur hanger designs.

I just looked, and because I ride a Cannondale, they have only the Scalpel HT which was released in the last 12 months and is UDH compatible.
I almost suspect SRAM is trying to wedge Shimano on this.

 

[bear the bear]

Also, what is stronger your frame or SRAM's new derailleur?
All the review sites are saying it's not an issue not having a sacrificial hanger but I honestly am skeptical.
I would rather bin a $50 hanger than a $4000 frame...

 

[jrewing]

Jesus. Some expensive sram stuff there. No thank you.
people will be selling worn groupsets for 1k

Is that TRP groupset in the wild yet? I wouldn’t mind giving that a go over SRAM or Shimano at some point
