A new standard and it's not even a trek?
Looks like I'll be holding onto my weird bike forever at this rate.

none of the pictures I've seem show them stomping on the bottom pulley area of the derailleur. Of course they're strong up top, but smack them on a tall rock or snag them on a wayward stump or root, and you're still fucked.
I also can't believe no one mentioned how this resembles the old Saint and Hone thru-axle mount. I ran them for years, and was quite happy with them. but that was back in the day of SS cages that weren't quite as exposed as these new ones...
They are good at setting patent traps, like the XD driver. I assume the UDH will be open, but bolting a derailleur to it ist verboten.
From somewhere in the PB coverage it sounded like the manufacturers were told what the end game was.
Good news is it might kill supermegaboosterplus on trail bikes as it's not compatible.
Knolly and Pivot are revolving in their crypts (?)
Didn't Ibis go there too?
I think Evil are also.
A new width will have to happen, when we get 15s speed.
There was 170QR too.You forgot @canadmos 's shitty 190 QR in there
Devinci and WeAreOne also.
Personally, I would be very happy if this new technology helps Boost148 to prevail for the years to come, but it doesn't look like SRAM's Transmission is incompatible with SuperBoost157.
On Evil's website, there is a Wreckoning fitted with a full Transmission group, and this is a SuperBoost157 frame.
Maybe I am missing something?
Yeah. Considering lead times bike manufacturers have for their following years (plural) bikes spec/groupsets. Its obviously no secret to them. Even a low denominator ludite like me knew months back that new full electric sram drivetrains were spec'd on certain brands next model year production bikes.
Nah. From what I understand You're not. If a frame has UDH dropouts there's no reason it can't have the new mech fitted.
You're not going to bring back a tiny change to the old 160 (or was it 165) DH then??
Repent heathen
Maybe I just misread it:
From:
Sounds like it will still work with it, it just achieves the same thing?
Do we really have to say 'Transmission'...cmon. If it was a fucking gear box I could get onboard but it's just the same thing w/ improvements.
I read it the same way you did at first. I also think I saw some place specifically mentioning it would not work with SuperBoost157 because of the cassette spacing, but I don't remember where.
Mmmm...Verboten
It is almost like riding that CR250 and being lined up at the gate next to 40 other people in 2nd gear with clutch in and 3/4 throttle down trying to make the first turn.
But much slower and lamer.....
I don't know if that was directed to me? I used the name Transmission earlier and I admit I almost felt dirty doing it.
I guess "Eagle T-Type" is probably more appropriate.
Everyone's just gonna call it "new Eagle" and "old Eagle".
They worked on the wrong thing IMO. I have never had issue with Eagle derailleurs, it is the cassettes you can't shift with more than a few ounces of chain tension.
They did work on the cassettes as well, they're all rampy and narrow-wide and shit now. Haven't had a chance to try them yet but supposedly better shifting under power. Also, I've had mixed results with the derailleurs lately, they seem to go slightly out of whack more easily than in years past (or maybe (probably) I'm just less precise getting through teh rox). Whether these are as much better as the hype remains to be seen.

hmmm Chicken was first
At this price, I am more than happy that there is a bunch of early adopters to guinea pig that for me
With the big plate, and long cage, a ever so slight tweek of the hanger translate to bad shifting in the upper gears. New groupo takes care of that. Thats why they got rid of all limit screws.
