You could probably have a field day with SRAM and their dumb sh!t:
- Red AXS with Quarq Powermeter integrated with the chainrings 'for a lighter weight': https://www.sram.com/en/sram/models/pm-red-d1
- And these wireless AXS blips that you cannot change the batteries on: https://www.sram.com/en/sram/models/ec-blip-b1
WTF SRAM?

sram just released their red "xplr" groupset and described it as feature that you can now change the chainrings without replacing the integrated power meter. You were the ones that took that away in the first place!

Also, the new chainrings need a proprietary tool to be taken off, because chainring bolts aren't a thing

Yeah I just watched GP Lama's video on it last night. That's a positive development, I think?

I've still got the older style spider PM that only works with the 4-arm Force rings.
