SRAM GX Eagle AXS

My singlespeed has a bone to pick with that statement.

I agree, I broke my battery when it was on the dropper. I did have a dropper post bikepacking bag on it at the time.

First ride on the GX AXS on my Santa Cruz Hightower. Converted from XO1 shifter/derailer. I really like how easy it shifts since I have some thumb nerve damage from too many hours racing kayaks. I did have to adjust where my thumb sits when not shifting. I was normally sitting on the lever to drop gears and prep for climbs. I found hitting some rough trail and I was bumping the controller shifting up or down. Moving my thumb around the grip did help with the numb thumb issue and still easy to grab a gear either way once I got a few miles in. So far very happy and don’t think I needed the XO1 AXS.
