WheelTop show prototype wireless drivetrain for MTB configurable to any 7- to 12-speed cassette (max 52T) w/ expected retail of $400 USD
On the final day of Eurobike, Chinese drivetrain parts manufacturer, WheelTop, showed us their prototype Wireless MTB Drivetrain; the WheelTop EDX OS Series is a $400 USD package comprising derailleur, two batteries, and wireless shifter. While the vast majority of WheelTop’s business is OE, their new wireless electronic drivetrain will also be available aftermarket in due course.
The WheelTop EDS OX system has a waterproofing rating of IP 67, meaning it has been tested to work for at least 30 minutes while submerged no more than 1 meter under water The WheelTop EDS OX shifter has two buttons for up and down shifting. It seemed like only single shifts were possible but we can’t confirm that yet. The buttons had a very nice positive feel to them, a lot more like the feeling of regular cable shifter than the SRAM AXS paddles. That said, the action is definitely a hell of a lot lighter than anything cable actuated.

Subsecond multichannel magnetic control of select neural circuits in freely moving flies - Nature MaterialsHere the authors describe a method for remote magnetothermal stimulation of neurons that achieves subsecond behavioural responses in Drosophila fruit flies by combining magnetic nanoparticles with TRPA1-A, a rate-sensitive thermoreceptor. Tuning the properties of magnetic nanoparticles to respond to different magnetic field strengths and frequencies enables multichannel thermal magnetogenetic stimulation.
