Sick technology and a great video. Thanks, Mike. Proud of your success!

hooray for the frame bender 5000

Sounds great, the only issue I can see is if the derailleur gets caught on something your frame is going to take all of that force which could crack the carbon, damage linkage, linkage bearings etc. Very slick though.

They remind me of that back tattoo scene in "Dude, where's my car" .

0:00 Who's talking, you or he? 😆

with the shifting being dictated by software to match the chain with the narrow wide teeth on the cassette will there ever be a cable version? I like the new mechanical innovation but I don't think I'll ever put a battery needing component on my bike. I don't want to have an afternoon free to ride and find that I can't go because I forgot to charge my shifter battery. I want the reliability of cables.

I like the continuous chain/cassette engagement and the hardened tool steel X-dome of the XX T-Type. What I don't like is the higher pricing in Canada even when allowing for the currency exchange.

Can we use the existing AXS controller if we have the original axs system saving 150-200 bucks?

I like the no hanger but I don't like the absence of back compatibility with prior Eagle drivetrains. However within a year I'll likely have it and the latest Rockshok Pike Suspension.

At 16:44 it looks like the chrome AXS logo plate on the controller pod is missing. I suppose it's held in place by weak glue and the plate fell off during test rides?

The real question is: does the AXS battery charger finally have USB-C?

@TheLostCo

According to several product listings X0 should have the Magic Wheel as well. It's nice of course, but rarely a stick or something else gets caught inside that wheel and Magic Wheel imo has no effect on a stick getting caught between chain and wheel.

Time to weld up a new rear UDH compatible rear end for my mountain bike.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Shimano zee rear derailleur is the first one to do "full mount"

Hell yeah Red Demon!!!

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?

I've gotten Sram XO1 on all my new bikes since 2011, they have always shifted under load, lighter, easy enough to adjust, simpler is better for me, I'll keep my XO1 stuff on my sub 22 pound Epic EVO, weight is something that matters when your climbing up hill after hill in your late 70's, you can have all the Green Tricknology..

What’s the comparison on xx1 vs the XO? Do you notice the lightness with the lighter one?

All this innovative tech and I'm still stuck with a wired system 😂 only thing I'm kinda worried is how parts are *probably required to use new tools to remove meaning I will need another proprietary tool to remove something. I'm just guessing I'm not sure but I hope that's not the case.

It's the next big thing. Go buy it!

Yeah in this video they claim the reason for hangers was to protect the derailleur but really it was to make sure your bike wasn't a write off every time you crashed.

Ebike groupsets need to be re-engineered for longevity over weight IMO. I can destroy a 12 speed SRAM cassette and chain with about 30% of the distance covered on a standard bike. I've actually swapped to the Shimano SLX 10-45 cassette as it's always the 50T that snaps teeth. Hoping smaller 45T won't have as much chain stress with the smaller diameter.

The system seems impressive, for the price it should be, although the weakest point in the system will always break first. Before the weakest point was the derailleur hanger that cost change to replace. Now to me it seems like the weakest point of the system would be the pulleys cage, I wonder if the cost of the cage is lower/same/higher than the trusty hanger... Probably higher...it's the how to pull money from a product that's already been sold...time will tell✌
