Vivo Cycling Previews All-Aluminum 12-Speed Derailleur

@warmerdamj, there could definitely be a cable version - you can even see a drawing of one in this patent drawing from SRAM: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/sram-granted-patent-for-drivetrain-with-a-direct-mount-derailleur.html. Not having limit screws or b-tension adjustment isn't related to the electronic shifter - that's part of the derailleur design. The cable running from the shifter would just be there to move the derailleur up or down the cassette, the same as the current shifter does wirelessly. I'm hoping SRAM releases one eventually - a battery-free version would be great.

Vivo Cycling Previews All-Aluminum 12-Speed Derailleur

I mean, "Vivo Previews a Mostly Aluminum Derailleur With a Few Tiny Rubber Seals and Some Titanium" is a pretty clunky title.

The Ultimate Recap of Sea Otter 2024

@chrismac, I'm not bummed. There are too many people and too much concrete for it to be a good place for dogs. It's not really a good place for otters either - the name is misleading.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Is World Cup XC Actually Worth Watching?

@stevemokan, fingers crossed. My cynical side feels like they'll announce that the preview is over right before Fort William, but I really, really hope that's not the case.

Dario's Final Sea Otter Randoms

Sinter is a legit technical term that's been around a lot longer than the brand. From Miriam-Webster: "to cause to become a coherent mass by heating without melting."

Video: Prototype Suspension & New Modular Drivetrains From Sea Otter

It’s a multimedia experience this way. Also, if we only had a video without an article, someone would complain. If we only had an article with no video, someone would complain. If we do both, someone will complain. Wait until you see my Sea Otter oil paintings.
