Lol that is quite the divergent pair of derailleur options. “Would you like the swanky wireless shifting from the present day, or would you like this weird ass mid century looking thing with a maximum cassette size of 30 teeth that makes it harder to get your back wheel out? Oh did we mention it’s difficult to get the cable tension correct? Also the front derailleur is operated by a broom handle”

Haha!
I mean their latest stuff is so weird and excentric. Like this rear derrailleur which requires a proprietary braze on the frame.
On the other hand, they have their super versatile and compatible cranks which seem great. They seriously offer something that not a lot of other brands do and it easily fits most bikes out of the box. Same thing with their tires. They made wide tires in a variety of sizes and widths before most mainstream manufactures and enabled people to build up bikes differently. I just don't get how the philosophy of these products go together.
