Patent Round-Up: The Future of AXS? Axle Batteries, Solar-Charging & Self-Charging
Seems like what is needed, is a central battery with wires extending to powered components, and a hub-mounted dyno that charges when coasting.

Throwback Thursday: 7 Bikes Turning 20 in 2023
Had 2 VP Frees, first one was stolen (right after a new fork). Ran out and bought another as a replacement. Sold that one in 2006, and I am missing it today: https://www.pinkbike.com/u/chrod/album/VP-Free-Frame
BB was high AF, 180mm Marzocchi 66 fork and a Progressive 5th element made for a great 33 lb do-anything bike though.

First Look: 5DEV's Titanium Chainring Promises 3x the Durability
"Not inexpensive" is honed journalismspeak to avoid pitfalls of direct declaration:
"This is expensive" is a direct declaration of an opinion as fact. This absolutely equals "this is not cheap" and will illicit flame responses from the comment section.
"This is not inexpensive" is a more limited declaration, avoiding the "expensive" claim, dulling the same opinion and leaving an option open to reader interpretation as "this might be expensive" and implying "... expensive to some but not to others". And Levy doesn't have to clarify to whom and how much.
smooth moves, crafty politics, placated readers, happy sponsors
