SRAM AXS pogo pins fix

[Woodyboy]

I bought a second hand SRAM AXS derailleur from eBay some months back, very quickly I noticed there was intermittent power issues. Eventually it stopped connecting and it appeared to be the little pins (pogo pins) not moving free enough.

I stripped it down and ordered 100 pins from Amazon, a friend who has the skills soldered the new pins (very tricky due to size) and it’s now working like new.

If anyone needs to do this fix please contact me and will happily post some pogo pins for the cost of a stamp.

Mine failed in the same way, I did the same fix, but my soldering skills were not quite up to scratch, and the first attempt failed after a few rides. I've resoldered them and hopefully this fix will last.


Can you link to the pogo pins you bought?

Hopefully this link works:

Mxfans 100x Gold-plated 6mm Copper Probes Spring Pogo Pin Connector https://amzn.eu/d/1ZtRbwI

If you need some spares just IM me, I have 98 left!

I am wondering if a bit of grease would help them, I suspect they got damp and the spring has corroded inside.

Hi, I have the same issue on GX AXS. My derailleur is still under warranty. Though it looks more than used. Many scratches and so on. So question is if warranty would be accepted or not. Anyway it will take some weeks to get it back. So I wonder whether to repair by myself or send it back. Repair seems to be easy to me. Am used doing this kind of things. However, the pogo pins are now out of stock. Would you, be willing to send some to Czech? Would of course cover the costs.

Pogo pins? I've never heard that word before.
I've always used "spring-loaded pins."
Maybe it's a regional thing.
I can't wait to impress my friends and colleagues with my new expanded vocabulary.

Hello there,

Same issue on a Force AXS happened today. And a race upcoming in two weeks...

How can I have a couple of pins, please? Willing to pay postage and a round of beers of course.

Thanks!

Hey @Woodyboy, thanks for this - could I have a few to give this a go? Bike has been sat in the shed for ages as I'm at a loss with what to do with it - praying that this works!! Let me know how I can send over postage

could i buy a few pins from you?

I have had this happen on a GX AXS and a newer T type GX AXS. Mine were both replaced under warranty but
SRAM diagnosed the problem instantly so I think it is a known design fault. Seems like a lot of people with the same issue.

I took mine to e-bike motor repair and they put in replacement pins.
