Same here.

Simple fix, just upgrade your bike to the Gen 3 LevoView attachment 110092
Since my 2020 Levo does not look like the above I guess I can stop trying to rationalize why I need to upgrade.
In the last 20 years I've bent hangers 40ish times and only destroyed 1 derailleur. Most of the time I just bent them back. I always take a hanger on trips as it's small and easy to bring. I've seen 20+ derailleurs destroyed by riding buddies.I've never bent a hangar despite obliterating several derailleurs
The Mech can move both inboard (via the overload clutch, absorbing some side impact forces) as well as rotate backwards, absorbing / moving out of the way from frontal impacts.
Rebuild kits are also available at reasonable prices.
Could it be broken in an unlucky crash? Yes, of course.
I believe you can power the derailleur from a motor outletHowever, I don't want the hassle of charging a battery and replacing one in the controller
Trek Fuel EXe also has this dummy battery, as does the 2023 Trek Rail. It works well, less things to worry about and charge.I believe you can power the derailleur from a motor outlet

The controller battery (cr2032) should last about 2 years with an average 15 hours riding a week (say SRAM).
you need to do an ally version.................mud and grass etc sticks like....well mud....to that black plastic crap!! Now it might sound counter intuitive but an ally version with much more spindly spokes actually enables mud and grass etc to be thrown off ..........it would not pass the allen key test though, but I can honestly say I have never had an allen key jam my jockey wheel. Maybe I have just been lucky!I've been working on a new Jockey wheel which is fully compatible with all systems and also has the "magic wheel" effect built in if you do happen to get an allen/hex key stuck in there as you ride along... At the moment the production time is quite high for each unit, but if there's interest I can probably speed things up.

You're not riding hard enough through them technical Allen key sections!but I can honestly say I have never had an allen key jam my jockey wheel. Maybe I have just been lucky!
Does anything pass this test?Lemme see it pass the stick-in-the-derailleur-at-25-MPH test first.

But if the upper knuckle of the new mech is less than $100 then potentially it's a wash?No. Which is why it’s desirable for your mech to cost £100 not £600+

Its 4 bolt BCD I assume and a SRAM chainring....which is not threaded for the bolts so they are nuts and bolts. You need to use an allen key on the bolts with a slot type tool ( make your own) to hold the "nut" at the back of each bolt. Rotate the chainguard out of the way. Chainring will then come off the spider although you probably need to remove the pedal.I didn’t change my 12sp 34t chain ring, was proving to be a pain to remove (how do you get it off? Take the whole ring off the crank and then remove the ring?). (Presume a special tool is needed for the lock ring?)
But the tooth pattern on the t type and eagle chain ring looks identical.
This came up earlier in the thread for Levo's. I presumed the alternative was the 4 bolt 104, but Rob was using this one :Its 4 bolt BCD I assume and a SRAM chainring
Getting behind the ring to hold on the bolt was the problem I am having. My 10mm spanner kept slipping off. There is no way to access it. (Maybe I should have removed the battery now I think about it?!?).
