Ratio Eagle Cage Makes Your SRAM GX AXS Derailleur As Light As X01, But Cheaper!
MTB riders debate why buy expensive XX1 or X01 AXS, when GX AXS has equal performance. Ratio's Eagle AXS replacement cage has your answer...

On that note:
SRAM patented the rolamajig to death so shimano end users couldn't buy it. They stopped selling it and integrated a similar mechanism into their derailleurs. Now the chinese appear to have offered an FU to the patent office and replicated the same thing. No more mile long cable loop....

I thought the cable and AXS cages place the pulleys in different spots. Like the AXS is shorter but the upper pulley is more offset. No? They're the same?
The look the same to me. I've replaced two for costumers and work good. It's got to work on the same cassette spacing as a mechanical.
Small companies making stupid shit that nobody wants to help guide the bigger companies away from doing similar stupid shit. I'll be happy to see the Bold go down in flames in much the same way Matt Damons "fortunate favors the bold" superbowl ad from the now defunct crypto.com go down in flames.
first time i've seen an axs only frame (no provision for routing a mech cable). that's... interesting.
I actually think that some of what the whole headset routing is about. Eventually there will only be the rear brake hose.
An AXS-only bike named "Unplugged". Someone over there is either clueless or has a great sense or humor.
Yeah I would want to give them benefit of the doubt but it's so many things wrong at the same time.
Still why do PB thinks the bike is tall? The stack and reach seems pretty on par with most bikes in 2023.
maybe they know too much?
If it's so wrong, why are you talking about it in the "What's right" thread?
Wait, I know - admit it, you actually really like it and subliminally posted here, right?

It reminds me of Trek/Fisher in the 90's. The Y bike and some other bike they made around the same time, almost cost Trek its future. Trek had designed the Sugar to replace the Y bike, but knew if they released a 3rd shitty bike they'd be out of business. So they released the Sugar under Fishers name. Since it did good, they came out with the Klein Adept and then the Fuel. All of which used the same rear triangle.
Buy up competition and use them as the lab rat. If it works, move it to the big company. If it doesn't, close up the samll shop and remain bg in the industry.
Didnt the sugar snap constantly like all the GF FS bikes?
Mine didnt. But i dont think there was a GF FS that didnt. Sugar, cake, etc.
Someone needs to invent $250/ft shifter cables and brake lines to make external routing great again.
I've got a vintage piece that I'll sell you for double.
Now we're talking!
Gold plate existing cables/housing and do a bunch of marketing spew saying that only discerning cyclophiles can appreciate the difference.
that’s a lot of work when you can buy gold TiN coated cables off aliexpress for $4. And then resell them for $250.
Gold sounds boring though, blockchain needs to be somehow interwoven in the story. Or U235.
Beryllium?
Make them of Unobtainium. Then market its quantum superposition indetermination as a feature.

You just need influencers to notice that everyone is using internal routing and they will go external just for content. Literally what happened with wired headphones for a while where all the "famous" influencers went to wired earbuds because airpods were now "basic". We just need our own bike Kardashians.
It's funny you say that.
I have this NFT of some housing is available for offers over $50,000.
Fun fact is my mom still owns a Sugar. Then again it probably has never been serviced and it's another one of her smart purchases of "I'm not really into bikes so lets drop 3000k on one". Then again my family is infected with GF FS bikes. My father has a GF Joshua with a Magura shock.
i realize my spending is fairly profligate as of late, but even i would not spent that much
Didn't someone make some ridiculous housing at some stage that was like that? Jagwire or something. Looked like a bunch of small links clipped together.
Back in the 90s I remember a couple of the XC kids in the local shop team had Gore-Tex cable kits where you had a continuous bright yellow plastic sleeve that that cable ran through to keep it free from mud and stuff. Those kits were like $100 per cable in the 90s, so probably $7,000 now with inflation. They sort of disappeared once manufacturers stopped putting cable stops in 8 spots along the routing and let us just run continuous housing from shifter to mech.... Ah I'd nearly forgotten the old days of having 3 or 4 different housing sections on a rear mech cable haha.
