pad gets damaged up and loud squeaking ensues
>looks like shitless parts = better
fewer points of failure
every part has its own set of dependencies and synchronicity with other parts

boomers have the money to buy into novelties, and are well past the point of posturing to be "hard core"
the young cant afford new things but they hate the old things
familiarity breeds contempt

why have a rear derailleur ?
you could have a pinion gearbox and a rohloff speed hub if it so pleased you
shimanos first rear derailleur (three speed) was made to be used with an internal gear hub (three speed) but who would do such a thing
perhaps a 3 to 5 kw electric assist is the way forward for bikes that dont consider weight, it seems to be whats coming but the law should catch up to that
>other issuesmodern suspended bikes have no room for front derailleurs
chain guides dont work well enough off road for front derailleurs to be useful
a greater amount and wider range of ratios at the cassette eliminates the need for front chain rings
no redundant ratios 4u gear changes are simple
Nordic Sport Husted Radial Gear Transmission and vyro AmEn exist but no one is insane enough to use them
