It's definitely fun to watch this stuff evolve. This was a really big leap, and cool to see and get to experience. I went back to cables after running the last AXS system, but I see myself leaving this set-up on this particular bike for the foreseeable future, which is encouraging. It'll be cool to see how all of this trickles down in the coming years.

I was watching this post and then my neighbor came and we watched it together. He said this post really changed his life and it touched my heart. My village people are so grateful. Am proud to say cool post wow thanks for sharing...!!

Very interesting. It definitely sounds like it's solved a few of the issues I've had with the current wireless setup. Now I have to ask the question. Why the hell didn't SRAM send ME one!!! 😂

Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Great content! I've been sold on the Onyx silence for several years now. I'm hoping when Specialized refreshes my bike model (stumpy) that the Transmission and Flight Attendant will be offered. I will continue to use shimano brakes, so look for my takeoffs on Pinkbike.

Looks sick my man. I want to get the new SRAM drivetrain. I had code ultimates on my YT Capra pro race. That was something special sram did with YT in 2018. I bet the new ones are even better. Good job as always brother.🔥

Do you need to buy a new chainring for the new chain or will a normal eagle chainring work with the new chain?

Can I still use my thru axle with a handle to easily remove/put-back-on the rear wheel, or do I now need a wrench to remove/put-back-on the rear wheel? And if I need a wrench to remove/put-back-on the rear wheel, must it be a torque wrench?

My bike isnt UDH compatible, so I havent been able to check out the interface. If you were to put your bike in a stand and drop the rear wheel, how does the derailleur stay connected to the frame without an axle in?

@SemiSendy

Жыл бұрын

The derailleur is mounted to the frame and not dependent on the axle to stay in place. The axel just bolts into it. You remove the axel and wheel just as normal, and the derailleur stays in the exact same tension setting.

had my axs on my ebike for a few months now and the app said not to use multi shift on a ebike so turned all that on and shifts fine going 30mph under load and its not fell off yet

Is that a serrated grip washer they give you to put directly against the chain stay?!

And where does the Energy of an Impact go? Direct into the Frame?

Totally non sram related but how are you liking the Float X on the Ripmo compared to Float X2? Considering moving to Float X over here.

Usual rush to market from Sram. It will require perfect dropout production from the factory which is not a given plus releasing and clamping the wheel will affect this too. It has a serrated contact with the frame which will more than likely be carbon, this will degrade over time. Tough it might be but where is the shock going, yep through the carbon triangle, pivot bearings, freehub bearings etc. Maybe Sram should concentrate on getting the basics right like making a decent affordable groupset that is not shit, i.e NX SX. Not convinced it is necessary or wise in the long-term plus the prices are ridiculous.

@SemiSendy

Жыл бұрын

I definitely get what you're speculating here in regards to the dropout production, but the way the cassette and axel are interfacing with the derailleur and not with the frame itself, means that there's reasonable wiggle room on the frame manufacturing end of things. The axel is always going to thread into the derailleur the same way, and line up the cassette the same.

well, but money

Trashmission shifts like crap, honestly after 90 days of adjustments. Eagle AXS Was superior. Must faster and more precise.
