Looks like Shimano wants this to happen, not RF...
New Saint. Finally.
- Thread starter jonKranked
- Start date
yea, a number of riders are putting saint stickers on other cranks (RF, Greenland did it with a set of hopes) mostly because riders are looking for shorter cranks and saint only goes down to 165
Has Finally happened yet?
what is that? 4.5TB on a web server? Doesn’t sound right.
someone got h4xx0r3d, maybe they finally spill the beans?
Those guys usually buy credentials form a recently fired employee, infiltrate their target's intranet, move laterally and begin to slowly exfiltrate data to servers they control (usually hacked cloud instances with a lot of storage).
Those 4.5TB of data are probably from different servers/systems, the easiest data to pull out is the payroll/payment one. Now technical/patent data, that's a whole different story...
It looks like Shimano has been hit by a massive ransomware attack - Escape Collective
The company is "aware of suspected attacks and an investigation is underway", with hackers threatening to release a trove of data.

Right… looks like it is just Shimano, not shimano.com as the screenshot says.It looks like Shimano has been hit by a massive ransomware attack - Escape Collective

Just saw a glimpse of the Japanese brand's 2025-2026 lineup. A lot of wireless shit, but Saint ain't nowhere to be seen. The cranks spotted on pro DH bikes are XTs.
Oh, and SLX is kaputt.

real wireless, or "di2 wireless"?
ZEE was also killed off around 4yrs ago.
And a ton of lower tier components have also been quietly discontinued. Replaced across the board with a newer CUES range. Meaning repairing and servicing many older bikes has got a whole lot more expensive.
not shocking? i saw a ton of SLX builds on the OEM side of things that were a great value.
I hope it's Li Ion so it doesn't work when it's cold.
No.
The teir between Deore and XT has changed many times over the years.
Remember Hone? anyone still care?
hone was the predecessor to Zee (budget DH group), it didn't sit between deore and XT.
freeride dude. you're old enough you should remember that. it was even available with a triple! but you could also get the axle mount derailleur as option, which was the same system as the version offered for Saint.
during that era it was LX that sat between deore and XT.
STX RC were the first brakes I upgraded to from cantis.
don't forget - when Saint launched, it was available as a double too with front der and shifter.

Mine were XT with the parallel links. Rode those my first visit to Morzine ('96?). with Mavic 121? ceramic rims
Remember the warning sticker on the first V-brakes stating how powerful they were?
Shoulda had a warning that the cartridge pads could slip clean out their housings if overheated

ANT+ is also compatible with most major / modern bike computers (garmin, wahoo, etc).
That's dumb. Can't charge using a car charger while driving, or carry spares to swap in on the trail (if you're the sort that forgets to charge things).
lol.
Why wouldn't you be able to use a USB extension lead?
Seems the perfect reason not to waste your money on electric bicycle parts
Regarding Hone...
It also had two versions, one with steel pedal inserts and one without. I pretzalized an insert wearing crank-arm. Pedal held, but the arm, not so much.

I don't know about Yurp, but in the US I'm not aware of any cars/vans that have USB outlets by hitches for bikes on racks. You could maybe rig something up for pickups that have outlets in the bed, but that's it.
Not disagreeing with the second point.
I'm not sure why we're even discussing this first world problem you don't even have but...
Are you telling me in your fantasy problem your car doesn't have a "trunk"?
I'm not in Yurp anymore BTW... That ship has sailed
Surely they have to be demountable or removable. You have to be able to swap them (for emergencies/repairs/forgot to charge/travel requirements/etc).
Locking the battery permanently inside the mech would be such a miss for everything from serviceability to environmental reasons.
Current Di2 batteries are charged through a port on rear mech, frame or bar end plug.
It's really not as big a deal as you guys seem to think. an hours charge every six months or so should see you good.

As opposed the inside the frame/seatpost/fork steerer ?
They're still removable though. I mean locked in permanently/near permanently like some phone batteries.
But yeah I suppose you can always pull it apart for disposal or whatever.
