Rider Finds Creative Use For Electric Derailleur
Electronic shifting changed the game when it burst onto the scene in mountain biking by allowing riders to shift effortlessly and not worry about cable routing.
As it turns out it has other applications too. Watch a German mechanic make tea with an AXS derailleur below.
In this video, two AXS derailleurs were used to dip a tea bag and add sugar to a cup.
This video is part of a genre of earnestly posting videos of products being used in silly ways. Using an electric derailleur to make tea is objectively funny.
Electric shifting is very popular. Sram has made it affordable enough for more and more people to try it. Though charging a derailleur is not for everyone, the ease of shifting and adjusting can be a plus over cable shifting.
