Review SRAM AXS Pod Rocker Upgrade

[Arethustra]

Pricey, but there are also custom 3D options also available.

Not tried them myself, but i am tempted

Leap Components - Homepage

High End Bicycle Components, 3D printed in Carbon filled Nylon. ✔️Better ergonomics - ✔️Extremely light weight - ✔️Personalized look

leapcomponents.com

These are for the older AXS controllers, not the Pods.

My bad.
Searching for the upgrade kit, I found it out of stock at escape bikes:

SRAM AXS Pod Rocker HMI Paddle Upgrade - inc. Pin Screws Panel

Change your AXS Transmisson Pod shifter from buttons to the Rocker design.

www.escapebikeshop.com

Their webpage shows the code: SSP1803700
Searching this code shows swinnerton cycles with a preorder:

but you may want to call to confirm it's the correct product before ordering.

Shifter Spares - Ec Axs Pod Rocker Hmi Paddle Upgrade (Including Pin, Screws, Panel)

Sram: EC AXS POD ROCKER HMI PADDLE UPGRADE LEFT/RIGHT (INCLUDING PIN, SCREWS, PANEL)

That’s the one I have preordered from Swinnerton. I’ve asked them 3 times to confirm it’s the part I think it is (as the description is a bit ambiguous since the POD doesn’t have pins or screws), but they just don’t answer. It was originally dated mid Oct, and keeps moving!

I bet escapebikes will have the same stocking issue since they say it’s a special order. I imagine they’re all getting them from the same place?

Zyrofisher is the main SRAM importer for the UK so anything SRAM/Rockshox will go through them 99% of the time. They’re not that great to be honest, I had the same issue as you trying to get small SRAM parts ordered. My LBS was upfront and told me that Zyro sucks with their delivery dates. I ended up just ordering what I needed from the US, got it in a week. I got a call 2.5 months later from my LBS saying the part was finally in stock if I still needed it.

This just turned up with no warning! I've used Swinnerton a few times now and they've always been fine - but I sent 4 emails asking about this thing, and they never replied to any of them.
For anyone wondering - even if the description has pin and screw in it, as long as it has POD, then it's probably right!

It's only been about 7 weeks since I ordered it... despite them originally saying 11 days!

Hmmm, maybe I should try Swinnerton then
