I hit a local trail yesterday, need to get out more.

I go through 12 speed chains too quickly. I don't replace them every 3 months as routine maintenance items, so when they get tired they wear my chain ring and cassette such that none of them should be reused. It gets expensive replacing them everything every 9 months or so. Plus, 12 speed systems are very sensitive to derailleur hanger alignment (my riding style is more James Harden than Stephen Curry).

So I searched for jailbreak hacks of Di2 and AXS systems to allow me to remap the shifting tables to run 9 or 10 speed. Nothing. But there are customizable wireless electronic shifting systems out there, just not from Shimano or SRAM.

I'm going to try one. I bought a Wheeltop EDS OX2.0 set that supposedly will run anything from 3 to 14 gears. I'm going to run it 1X on a Shimano 10-speed cassette. Wish me luck. I will report back once it's installed and tested.
 
Still no rides but it is going to be out sooooon

Meshal, North of where your Chicago stomping grounds is the Fox River Trail. Years ago (kidos were small) we enjoyed the trail and it might be a fun change of pace when you are out & about. Have fun
