New SRAM Force AXS for 2023

Equipment
30

To summarize it seems like there are three options:

  1. Integrated ring/meter
  2. In-spindle left sided power (brought up from rival)
  3. Regular Quarq spider from last generation (still being sold for now) AXS Power Meter Spider | PM-AXS-SPDR-D1 | SRAM

The real problem is that most bikes will be stock with the integrated one so if they get used up or crashed on they still have to buy a new meter. SRAM is saying some pretty egregarious things about this on youtube: “We’re very confident that our AXS chainring durability far surpasses anything we’ve made before, enough years of riding that we would not consider it disposable at all. When it is finally worn, we do have a recycling program to take care of the electronics.”

But this is ignoring cases of damage from crashes.
