Shimano peasants rejoice, may the time have come? Update, SRAM just lowered the bar!

shouldnt be hard to do with the right group, but you would lose some seat post insertion depth (a cable from the actuator to the solenoid would have to be in the seat tube, along with the battery)

Run an external dropper - mount on seat tube. I think the Archer components unit might do it.

Yes, but that thing probably outweights the cable setup, if that were the case what would be the point of it?

Patrick is just trying to avoid people asking why he bought AXS a year ago and it is still in the box

Did you know "sram" means "I'm taking a $hit" in Polish? Despite this, I will probably get AXS for my next bike, which luckily doesn't provide any additional context in Polish.

I can't help but point out that @serviceguy edited the thread title, and it makes it a fair double-entendre as far as what happens every time SRAM releases something new.

I am not sure I get my own double entendre though...

"Lowering the bar" is usually referring to making something worse.

It can mean "lowering the bar of entry", but it usually doesn't, colloquially.
