The team that won last year’s TdF. They and a at least a couple of other top level pro are still using rim brakes this year.

I don't need a scientific friction test to feel the drive train losses of tiny gears like that. |

Some are making 9th cogs.

And they’re kind of stupid. Not trying to be a retrogrouch but 10-tooth cogs don’t even make sense for pros, except with small chain rings.
If they have them, I still hope to see an 11-tooth option. These smaller components seem to be made to shave a few grams for marketing purposes. |

That's mostly found in bikes with very small wheels (such as folding bikes) where the alternative is very large chainrings. Small wheels open up a lot of possibilities for frame design but can result in a lot compromises in the drivetrain.

I've seen 9th cassettes for big bikes too. I know of a couple groups in the works with a 9 as the main for their cassettes.

Oh boy I hope this doesn't include the new Campy group(s). I fear it does.

No comment. But I can say the range on upcoming cassettes is incredible. In my opinion it's a game changer and is a first for all the brands. I have a bunch of new things on the way from everyone- Shimano, Campy, SRAM. Campy has things dropping every month for the next 3 months. Shimano has stuff dropping end of August to mid-September. SRAM hasn't given me the dates. But everyone was rearranging them to coincide with Sea Otter and NAHBS. But since those aren't happening now things could change. I do know the Campy stuff isn't supposed to though.

Range means gaps which may be alright if that chainring deal is true.
Now I need to know about bottom bracket and brake options. |

Brakes? is there something other than disc and rim brakes being used most? |
