I can’t wait! Something aero related...that rules out the bearings and pulleys right?

Something comically over priced but colorful?

I stand by “comically over priced but colorful?”

An aero derailleur?!?!? That’s gotta save at least .2W. Easily worth $500.

Try $600. "60% less aero drag than other oversize pulley systems". They say data will be released later but I haven't personally seen any testing about the aero effect of oversized pulleys, though I'm sure there is some added drag there. Still a pretty comical product.

I don't think it's comical. There's a market for it! People made fun of oversized pulleys and yet they are pretty standard now.

Oh don't get me wrong I love that products like this exist. I think just for the 99% of triathletes that haven't optimized every single other little part of their setup/position that will buy this the purchase is a bit comical. But once again, the more money gets put into the sport and the industry the better.

For $600 aren't they pricing themselves out of the market? $200 maybe, but $600?

Ceramic Speed coated bearings is like $600 on oversized pulleys and there was a $1700 titanium system too.

Looks like a dogs breakfast of every single aero/shape idea over the past 15-20 years.

I would doubt that this is faster than a flat plate/tear drop.
