Yeah, about Hammershmidt. It was a massive fail, but SRAM was hellbent on killing the front derailleur. They succeeded, not with Hammerschmidt, but with 1x11. I'd been running 1x since 9 speed days, but I'm no longer 30-something and my knees can't mash big gears anymore. Front der's were the bain of my existence due to dropped chains that lead to unreliable chain guides. Thank you SRAM for failing and keeping on trying.
