Sram just announced an update to their eagle drivetrains with new 10-52 cassettes for GX and above, new derailleurs to handle the extra range, GX got a carbon crank option, and new colorways. [image] SRAM Launches Updated Eagle Ecosystem! - 520% Range & New Colors [Video] SRAM updates E…

First Look: SRAM's New GX Drivetrain Offers 520% Range - Pinkbike Pinkbike’s look. It’s a little silly that you have to get a new derailleur to use a 2 tooth bigger cog…

Good news is that I now can keep my Quarq PM when doing MTB 100s that actually would be better off with a 28t or 30t front chainring (Leadville, MG :100:). Before I would have to choose between being under geared and having a PM or having the proper gears but no PM (Quarq’s smallest chainring is 32)…

[image] QuittingBikes: I’m holding out for Shimano’s 10-55. It’ll come out after SRAM introduces their 10-54, in response to Shimano’s 10-53 (which would be in response to SRAM’s latest 10-52). 520% Meh😒. 600%! 600% is where it’s at.

[image] MI-XC: For my XC races I don’t need a 50 or 52. I’d much prefer a 46. One reason I’m looking at Shimano’s 12-speed for when I upgrade my bike. The 10-45 is more than enough for the riding I do and then gives you the option to move up to a 10-51 for trips to steeper areas or maybe lon…

Well played, sir… well played. :rofl: :medal_sports: :heart:

THE YEAR IS 2030 Sram launches 790% range with new 76t, 14 speed drivetrain. Alongside it, they are pleased to announced that their new GX cranks come standard with a 52T ring up front. Shimano is still on 12 speed and is rumored to be releasing a new version of XTR Di2 in 2035

For the all Sram fans out there this is a good thing. Retailers may finally be allowed to markdown the “outdated” 10-50 groupsets!

I’m surprised. Was the previous 500% cassette limiting anybody? :thinking: I can’t remember ever running out of gears on a climb. I run out of traction before I get to that point.

It kind reminds of …”it goes to eleven”…a la This is Spinaltap… I’m in MN, still running the woefully outdated 11x46 on my MTB. Not sure I need the 52 for the riding I seem to do so far. Now, get me where there is some real elevation and I’d be all over it…
