Did anyone one here this year living In Canada or the US use Discovery+ to watch mountain bike racing?

They probably have no real plans to broadcast all the racing that GCN+ was and by saying "we will let you know" allows them to just you know.... Not let us know.

It's 100% the UCI not wanting to lose the rights to what could very well become a huge race format as more and more people buy mopeds. They are just interested in having the whole pizza rather than fighting for a slice. If it doesn't pan out... Fuck it, and move on just like what they are doing to the...

I'm pretty certain that Transmission doesn't "know" anything about position of ramp cogs. The system has a stiffer chain, more precise alignment between the derailleur and cassette, more force from the derailleur, and a refined ramp pattern. When you queue up multiple shifts, you immediately hear the bzzt bzzt bzzt of the derailleur moving, then the chain works it's way up/down the cassette. If it knew where the ramps were, you'd click click click, then it would break up the bzzt as gears changed. XTR shifting in my experience is quicker if you time shifts. T-Type (I have on an...

I can't imagine anything worse than having to wait for shifts. But I'd take a direct mount mechanical derailleur any day.

yeah thats the same system I saw. Sorry I wasn't trying to be secretive but at the time I saw that Fuel with the system we were still in "no talk mode" and I wasn't sure if it had been shown on NSMB yet.

The parent I saw was most certainly designed to hold a shifter cable. I can't say which bike but the the bike I saw with AXS that was being powered by the bike battery used a little block that clipped in place of the battery and a small wire ran from it into the shifter cable hole in the chainstay...

Not to long ago someone posted a Sram Patent that showed a sram derailleur upper body piece that looked exactly like the new AXS upper piece that mounts to the UDH area but it had a cable port. Id imagine it will be GX to start and then Possibly a trickle down in the coming years when budget friendly bikes...
