I want to make my bike dumb

From the horses mouth (aka one of the Shimano category leads at the XTR launch in Tucson, I think it was Nick), “there will always be a place for cable XT drivetrains.” So I think you’re good for the foreseeable future.

My local bike shop just closed because they were tired of all the wireless this and that and the rise of E-bikes and I don't blame them. R.I.P. Trinity Cycles.

Our bike shops Love the Wireless stuff because theres so many issues with them an setup. they make good $$$ off them.
They also sell more ebikes than regular.

I have not received my new bike yet.. but it comes with transmission XO and AXS reverb.. already have a shopping cart with an Eagle 90 derailleur and shifter.. I think its the most efficient route, from a Shimano fanboy... oh, and also have a oneup dropper on the parts bin, waiting to be fitted ; )

The problem with 12 speed shimano deraillers is that they seem to desintegrate if there's a single blade of grass a feet away..

Is GX Eagle done and dusted now with T-type Eagle 90 being out?  and IIRC Eagle 90 trigger is kinda horrible and more of a NX rather than a nicer group?

XO transmission setup with X01 shifter and derailleur for over a year has been the most reliable system I've ever used. requires a slight modification on the UDH so the small cog doesn't rub and works best with quick single shifts (like an e-bike) as that's what the chain and cassette are optimized for.

strange fetish, but ok

I am very curious about this setup! Is there more info available somewhere? Thanks

Can you use any other SRAM mech shifters with Eagle 90?

I've done all of the above: robots, 90, and X0 on t-type cassette/chain with a ground-down UDH (Hall-locked). They all work great. 

The SRAM 90 shifter is just fine, I've got no complaints with it. I sold off my robot derailleur and went to the 90 T-Type mostly due to shifter ergonomics (my brain couldn't get locked in with good muscle memory on the pod), but also becasue of battery forgetfulness. I'm a big fan of the mechanical T-Type.

I like deore derailleur/cassette with xt shifter.  But the deore shifter works well.  Just a bit slower.  Seems a bit more reliable than the xt stuff based on mine and my friends experiences.
