Anyone using this? Am tempted to get the upgrade kit and convert my 1×11 to this from X01, mostly because of the ridiculous cable routing on my Air9c.

doesn’t sound like cable routing gets easier…

Hmmm… Can’t be any worse than having to take the BB out in order to change the rear shifter cable? I think it took about 2.5 hours to connect all that up when I built the bike up 2 years ago.

What’s the point in it? It’s adding batteries and servo motors to something that works fine without?

Except on a frame where to change the shifter cable you have to dismantle the cranks, take the bottom bracket out, then debond and remove the EBB then spend at least an hour and a half replacing the cable before reinserting and rebonding the EBB, reinstalling the bottom bracket, then the cranks.
I might give it a whirl.
It’ll also mean that I can put a front bag on if I do.
