"Especially since so many product managers seem to think that we all want a 34t ring with our Eagle drivetrain. "
This.
Why is it so difficult to just spec a bike with a 1x drive train, 30 tooth front ring? From there the consumer can go up or down depending on their legs. Would save a lot of dollars on mas production by just having one setup per group set vs two.
As for DUB. Who cares. If it works it will endure. If not, not.
And I rode in sun both days this weekend in WA. :\)
