I haven’ seen the levers only yet, I’m sure they’ll fill orders for group sets and lever/calipers first. Definitely keeping an eye out for these though, I’m in the same boat and would be happy to upgrade on at least 2 bikes. I gather nearly all the braking improvement comes from the lever and they a…

the lever alone is most of the price you are paying… $446 while the new calipers are $145, the rest is mounting bracket, hardware and hose to make up for the $675 lever/caliper combo. 11.7018.078.012 11.7018.078.013 probikesupply has the right available, but not the left so they are out there alr…

I ride my gravel bike on a lot of singletrack as well as dirt/gravel roads. I went from the current Force to the new Red shifters and calipers and my feelings are that the Red shifters are a) a lot more comfortable with more hand room, b) WAY less force needed when braking on the hoods. Most of t…

Only having experience with Shimano, I am wondering if any leeway exists with SRAM in regard to maximum cassette size. For example, on Shimano DA or Ultegra I have never had an issue adjusting the B screw and installing a cassette 2 teeth over the maximum indicated by Shimano. Or go even higher by …

[image] dtom: Does that mean 36T really is the max with SRAM Red? Or can you adjust a B-screw to exceed that limit? Sidenote: Is USB-C in effect now? I believe the 36 is the biggest 12s road cassette SRAM makes and the road RD isn’t compatible with the larger offroad cassettes (which all all…

You can also use an XPLR RD in a 2x system. Reddit - The heart of the internet

[image] dtom: It looks like the Red AXS RD comes in a Max model if you want to ride 10-36 while the standard Red is limited to 10-33. I have seen people use larger cassettes with SRAM rear derailleurs in the past, although not this specific groupset generation (yet). In the past when you need…

Not a road RD but the 12s XPLR RDs can use the E13 9-45t cassette (so +1 on the biggest gear and -1 on the smallest) with no modifications. So i wouldn’t be surprised if you could get an extra tooth or two without too much trouble if you can find a cassette. On the roadside you can swap the cages …

[image] grwoolf: So, even though your biggest cog in the back is a 36, you can have a 33 front ring to pair it with. My gravel bike has SRAM 43/30 chainrings and the 10-36 cassette to get a 30:36 lowest gear, if that’s the goal.

How does the Garabuk RD cage manage to raise maximum cassette size on a Red AXS RD from 33/36Tto 44T? Is the top pulley wheel smaller or is it located lower somehow?
