I believe that is the S-1000 transmission derailleur and not gx.
nope. i don't have picture but they sent me 3 upper derailleurs as a warranty for failed GXs and all the grey bits are black now, it also seems like they put some sort of o ring around the battery pins, probably they had to do something given the failure rate
did weagle's mid-pivot atherton discussion ever make it in here? here it is (possibly again :)

What he says about very high pivots is so true in my experience, I had the opportunity to try out a commencal supreme v4 the other week. The weight transfer when cornering happens faster than you can react, it's jarring and you feel like you're about to sail right over the top of the berm. It's no surprise that pivot heights have been getting lower recently when compared to that first wave of high pivot bikes.

You just adjust your technique.
If you rode exclusively high pivots for a while, then hopped on a more traditional design, it would immediately feel very strange the other way too.
i get that these discussions are fun, but also annoying to most who just want to read about new tech/rumors and don‘t want to scroll through pages of off-topic discussions regarding chainstay length/right amount of travel/dropper post insertion/ etc.
They updated the GX T-Typer derailleur now all black and did something to the cassette in silence too
Really don’t get the dumb dislikes on the previous post, the black ones ( I got 3 all in full black with the last 3 warranties ) are the latest stock apparently, and after some torch inspection no, there’s no extra seal around the pins, so they will keep failing with moisture staying trapped causing the spring to corrode or something.

Was there a model number on the packaging? Is it still RD-GX-E-B1?
Looks like Intend sponsored rider Lena_ar_ on instagram, who I posted about a few weeks ago here running what seems to be a new intend bc dropper, has now also posted a fairly close up pic of what we can assume is the dropper levers.
Looks like a nice piece. Hopefully their dropper is reasonably priced whenever they decide to release it
Nah that looks like the current Woodsprite trail model.
Regarding the intend lever, the integration of the barrel adjuster is nice and make the whole assembly look sleeker.
Regarding the Garbaruk derailleur, pretty sure Sram Electronic derailleur patent is for the easily removable battery with a latch system that is interchangeable between front and rear derailleur for road groupset. This is why Campagnolo use a different battery for each derailleur in their Super Record WRL groupset and that Shimano upcoming XTR di2 groupset might use a different battery removal system to skirt around Sram patent.
In Garbaruk case, they could have just made it that the battery is bolted with 1-2 bolts and a usb-c port so still removable but slower to do so.

it will be priced so they can stay in business and continue to make more stuff in the future. you are free to continue using cheaper* asian stuff if you like to.
this press release i just received seemed pretty tech but maybe it belongs in the geometry thread. i'll start here...I am reaching out to you...

I am reaching out to you because I believe your audience would be interested in our company's launch in early May and the two new products we're launching with, the Cardio Speeder and the Super-E. These are the first-ever "procumbent flying position" electric bikes on the market.
The procumbent flying position, a new riding position invented by Martoni CEO, Marty Williams, is a posture that combines ergonomic riding with speed. On a procumbent bike, there is no saddle; riders step on to the pedals, rest their hips against a cushioned hip support, and lean forwards to grip the handlebars. This position allows ideal body weight distribution over the whole of the bike, promoting comfort, improved control, and a more enjoyable riding experience.
Kiran might have the best job in the industry.
They shared one of their own posts. It’s the new Sight VLT C2.

This is my social media, Im very out of the loop, who is Kiran and what do they do?
He’s in charge of what shock tune Santa Cruz specs on their bikes. Also helps with the development of product at Santa Cruz.
Great guy. Good at what he does.
I can't come up with anything that does it justice, so I'll just leave it here:
"The "Goldilocks crab" refers to the hermit crab in a shell chain that perfectly fits its size, triggering a shell exchange among other hermit crabs."
This is not mtb but its one of the more interesting ideas lately, has it been already mentioned here?
I really like the idea im not going to lie.
Notower or megamad, pick a crab and be a dick about it.

The plot twist in this video literally had me dropping my jaw
Ever broke a hub axle?
can we please stay rumors in here?!

No packaging, they’ve been sent wrapped
Might be safe to assume Garbaruk is cooking something electronic here?
And Antidote a new frame?

Doesn't SRAM have a patent for a battery on the derailleur? I wonder how they're dealing w/ that...

This also doesn't look like the Trinity brake caliper?

Rear center looks short
Don’t start this tangent again please 😅
Hey all, on today's bike of the day I spotted the mythical 250mm Reverb. The post's collar is slammed on the seat clamp, but apparently it fits:
