Transmission Cage Upgrades from Kogel, Ceramicspeed, and Cascade Components
I've trashed 5 OEM Transmission cages in as many months. The aluminum ones bend and cannot be bent back because they're crooked by design and the carbon ones just snap. I'm not the only one out there with this issue, evidenced by the fact that the replacements are constantly sold out everywhere. Before you crucify me for my line choice let me just say that I can count on one hand the number of hangers I have had to straighten in 15 years of riding before switching to Transmission. This is a design flaw. I'm looking really hard at the Cascade Components one right now.

Slack Randoms: Attempting to Break SRAM Transmission, the Smallest Functioning Bike & More
I've trashed 5 Transmission derailleur cages in as many months of having Transmission. The aluminum ones bend, the carbon ones snap. Before you take to flaming me for not knowing how to ride my bike please consider that I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to straighten my hanger in 15 years of riding before switching to Transmission. The design is flawed and there is a reason Cascade Components saw fit to bring a $300 stainless steel replacement to market.

DT Swiss Releases New 1200 Series Carbon Wheels
So much this. I'm in the market for plastic wheels right now and was looking for any mention of lifetime warranty. Without that: no thanks DT Swiss.

New Motors, Derailleurs, & Yetis: EWS Crans-Montana 2022
@Tacodip420: the flex built into current hanger designs may be tolerable for today's applications but that may change once they inevitably introduce 13 speed a few seasons later?.. just spit balling obviously but there are any number of other developments direct mount derailleurs could be a stepping stone for. Don't get me wrong, mind you, having personally broken an XX1 AXS derailleur through impact before this does not give me the warm and fuzzies

Review: Küat's New Kashima-Coated Piston Pro X Bike Rack
@stumphumper92: to be fair, the anodized levers on my 1up have seen some fade over the course of a few years on the car.

Review: AXS Rocker Paddle Upgrade Kit
This! The current solution to multishift on AXS just doesn't cut it. I'm faster pushing the button 2 or 3 times to get to where I want to be than how long you have to press and hold to initiate a multishift.
