Hey all, so I’m mainly a roadie and have Di2 Ultegra on my road bike, just not a fan of the SRAM road groups. However I quite enjoy my EAGLE on my MTB and with how awesome electronic has been on the road I am considering Eagle AXS upgrade. My groupset currently consists of all Eagle GX components, a…

I’ve noticed derailleur hangers going to wack with axs (I like to shift under load a lot), partially attributed to the UDH hanger which seems to be made of cheese. Shifting definitely isn’t as smooth under load as XTR/XT which makes me consider something like the Ryan Palmer hybrid approach.

I think that is true @Ankit_Sachdeva . Unfortunately I found out during my A race a few weeks ago when I snapped my AXS chain. :joy:

Definitely not the smoothest under load for sure. I’ve considered that hybrid setup for when this stuff wears out but it’s not like eagle shifts poorly, it sounds worse than it actually shifts

Exactly and will probably do the same. I’m curious how bad lighter cassette options like garbaruk or ingrid are. XTR is going the wrong direction in weight…

Anyone had a change to try the new rocker paddle? I like the setup but still a bit imperfect IMO. I wanted the further away trigger (rocker down) to put me in a harder gear, which leaves the easier gear up on top now, can feel a bit unnatural. I did move the shifter slightly inboard as a result but …

I changed a few months ago, no problems and prefer the new one. I did exactly the same as you, moving it inboard and changing APP configuration. The only problem I found was that in moving the paddle in it is a bit off centre compared to the other side and also a couple of times it moved back out an…

That’s the one. I use ESI grips and have the matchmaker installed so maybe mine fits differently. Wish the upper part wasn’t such a reach but that’s a limitation of the rocker system itself it has to be up high.

Mine has been good so far not a ton of miles on it but works as it should. I will say it doesn’t shift as smooth as my Ultegra Di2 under power but my mechanic said some of this is because gear spacing is considerably wider on Eagle 10-50 vs an 11-28, point taken. It definitely shifts nicer than the…

AXS is the only Sram group I’d ever consider. [image] First Look: SRAM Releases GX Eagle AXS Wireless Electronic Drivetrain - Pinkbike There's now a slightly more affordable option for riders who want to make the move to wireless, electronic shifting. When I…

Good to know there is a cheaper RD option in case I smash mine. I would have went for GX if it was available back then but went for X01 because the carbon cage scared me
