Madrone Cycles has been busy since we first caught up with them earlier this year at Sea Otter. Madrone is still offering SRAM AXS rebuild kits, but it’s their own prototype rear derailleur that has improved substantially since we last saw it. Now on the Gen 2 prototype, the derailleur is modular to allow it to work with 10, 11, 12, or 13-speed cassettes, different shifters, and even a UDH Direct-Mount or standard derailleur hanger mount.

Madrone founder Aaron Bland walks us through the details.

Gotta love the actual thought process of design, rather than the typical marketing BS.
Genuinely hope the company exceeds all expectations.

Very nice. I wonder if this is 1x-only, or if this can support a second chainring up front, for something like a gravel application?

So it looks like there is a mechanical derailer option for the New SRAM TRANSMISSION….

Won’t be long before Ratio Technology sells ratchets that’ll let us use our old shifters and derailleurs on 13sp. I’d be doing that ASAP with 1×13 if I liked the available cassette but I’ll be waiting until more is available
