[SRAM Rival eTap AXS | Meet the Range] [image] SRAM Rival AXS review: This is the wireless setup you’ve been waiting for It’s heavier than Force and Red, yes, but it arguably works even better and is way, way less expensive. Est. reading time: 28 minutes …

As an entire eco system it’s really nicely linked up, with most of the road and MTB bits being cross compatible. Just need some third party compatible chainrings in my opinion.

Is it possible to run a SRAM AXS MTB rear derailleur and a shimano 10-45 cassette? I have seen some info that the shimano and SRAM 12 speed MTB stuff is a bit cross compatible but I’m not sure about this specific combo.

This guy does that (doesn’t mention cassette he’s running) [image] A Mismatch Made in Heaven: XTR/AXS | BIKE Magazine Bike's Senior Editor and world's biggest hypocrite explains why his mixed Shimano/SRAM drivetrain has left him regret-free. (If you’ve alread…

From the picture it looks like the 10-51. I know the chain and everything would mesh correctly. I’m just not sure if the SRAM derailleur could be adjusted to shift smoothly on the smaller cassette. i.e. if the b-tension and derailleur geo can accommodate it. But if someone has the disposable cas…

Really going to put pressure on Shimano and ultimately will be good for the consumer. I currently use AXS Force, and to be honest, it has been absolutely flawless. The only reason I would change it if I had unlimited funds would be to reduce weight.

Is there any cost effective to run this on tt bike? The rear mech seems great but the blipbox + blips is still $700. Would it be worth trying the eagle shifter?

Nope. You’ll need an AXS chainring & chain in combo with an AXS rear mech… It can be Rival, Force, or Red, but it has to be AXS. I’m not saying it’s absolutely impossible. You might be able to get a Shimano 11sp ring to kinda-sorta work, but you really don’t want to.

AXS chains have larger rollers, generally not compatible with anything else

I use the ethirteen 9-46 with AXS, so I’m sure Shimano 10-45 would be fine.
