I honestly think it is time that we stop complaining about the phase out of some old tech and instead put our energy into improving the future. The Road Bike Rim brake has had its day, let's kill it and move on. Then start demanding better from our disc brakes.

We need to stop collecting bottom bracket standards and get behind BSA, T47 and PF30. Decide on a freehub standard and go with it. The HG Hyperglide freehub body was everywhere once upon a time, but we need to move on. Can we kill XD and XDR and get fully behind MicroSpline?

While we are at it, can we just improve internal cable routing too?
