If by “this” you mean modern gearing, THIS is good.

Is there any deception with the perspective in this photo? That’s crazy if not

I remember when that XT derailleur was new, I would take the current crop of components any day over what we had back then.

The fact that SRAM designed the direct mounting to fail before the frame and derailleur itself and offers replacement parts to replace the engineered weakest part for a reasonable price gives me the warm fuzzies.
If I were in the market for a $1000+ drivetrain and had a UHD compatible frame, yup my thinking is in favor of this setup.
Pro teams are using this by CHOICE in the classics this year.
I’ve got a 1×11 mechanical drivetrain on my road bike, the ratio jumps are very similar to the 2×8 drivetrains I ran for years and rather prefer on my bumpy local roads to 2×11.

These are 1×12 or 13 iirc. 10-46?
