Goodbye 9-speed, farewell Octalink. Time to start stocking up on old
parts?

No kiddin. Freehubs for 7700 hubs are getting scarce, to try to 'encourage'
conversion to 10s.

The only bright spot is the price of new 10s ultegra, a level playing field as
OEM resale is stopped. BUT it's going to go up in price about $200.

No great surprises: pinch-bolt cranks, 10-speed, other minor
improvements.

THe interesting question is whether this stuff will trickle down to 105
next year, especially the pinch-bolt crank. As of right now, 105 is the
only Octalink group on the road side (Tiagra and Sora use square-taper
spindles).

On the MTB side, where they got the new crank a year earlier on XTR,
they now have four groups using the new crank: XTR, XT, Saint (think
XT/XTR-level freeride gear), and Hone (slightly cheaper freeride gear).
Two of those are new groups. I don't think they want to add any new road
groups, though.
