Pinkbike Predictions: Who Could Win the XC World Cup Season Opener?
Looks to be pretty much right under the ball of the foot or slightly behind. Pretty normal setup.

HQ Tour: Inside SRAM's Drivetrain Development Facility
@txcx166: actually, there probably are people at SRAM whose entire job is to sit by the phone and take peoples complaints. Although the purpose is to document real issues actual customers experience with their products, not entertain anyone’s speculation as to why a product may or may not be good.

Dang, this was really well produced and great riding. I wasn't expecting a full feature when I clicked on the vid. It did not disappoint!

Shimano Patent Shows Direct Mount Electronic Derailleur
@Keegansamonster: Regardless if the derailleur is fixed to one side of the axle, if it is braced by more than one attachment point (it is), it still transfers loads to both dropouts, just like the whee/hub does. For either case, the load goes through the axle to both sides of the rear triangle.
The difference is that the hanger could potentially put more of a bending moment on the axle, considering axles are pretty stiff, and reinforced at some point of flex by the hub axle around them, this isn't an issue.

Shimano Patent Shows Direct Mount Electronic Derailleur
Um…all rear wheel impacts go through the axle/dropout and transfer into the rear triangle. Don’t try to convince anyone those loaded are smaller and/or less frequent than those to a derrailleur.

Review: 1,000 Miles on SRAM's New Eagle Transmission
This claim also applied to the original launch of XX1 11 sp cassette, X.O 9 speed derailleur. In reality spares were never really made available for rebuild. In those cases, it seemed more an effort to half-heartedly pander to customers concerns about replacement costs. We'll see if history repeats itself here.
