Also onyx makes a kickass hub.

Rebecca Rusch Parts Ways With Niner Bicycles
I had the privilege of riding RPI this last year and experienced first hand that Rebecca is the real deal and takes the “be good” part to heart. A fantastic event that she seems to push forward through force of will and spirit.
The only downside of that is probably the bike community hug of death from too many riders all wanting to be part of the experience. Hopefully wherever Rebecca lands she has the support to expand her reach and share her spirit.

Review: 6 Months with SRAM'S Wireless Eagle AXS XX1 Drivetrain
Interesting that this was faultless for him. In the Rebecca’s Private Idaho Queens Stage Race (~250 riders, 3 days, gravel bikes but on mtb trails for day one) there were a few of these setups. Two different people had issues one of which ended up with a dead derailleur on day one. With the SRAM team car there for support I would assume they could fix things like this (rider was a Pro woman). At any rate chatting with one person about it they indicated that in the multi-hour racing you charge those batteries before every ride because the of the number of shifts. Cold also cuts the battery life. Overall impression was a big thumbs down for me despite these reviews that describe how awesome it can be when working right... unless you shift more than one gear at a time... like every racer on a hilly mtb course ever.
