Even as a commuter i'll be taking a look at the upgrade. My standard NX eagle will be shelved and i can use it if the AXS has any issues.
Nice shot/video of the "overload clutch" for side impacts :
When will it hit the shops ?
cant Find it available online at the moment ?
You can pre-order it through any SRAM dealer (Any decent bike shop with a Zyro account)When will it hit the shops ?

Stop griping and just ride your bike GordonMy gripe is this. I can have a wireless shifter and seat post now but no motor manufacturer has applied the same tech to a handlebar controller. That's the cable I really want to get rid of.

The shop I work at has two sets due mid-April and two more due mid-July if you want to reserve one.When will it hit the shops ?

Bike-Discount.de have them on stockThe shop I work at has two sets due mid-April and two more due mid-July if you want to reserve one.
It was insanely hard to get hold of, even for us!

Yeah. We're not permitted to ride outwith our local counties ATM. out of the three counties I live and work in there are plenty trails but very little off road elevation. I've fucked my back manualling with a leg strain causing damage to my lower discs so have too much time on my hands to poke fun at others first world problemsTrails are all closed due to storms and floods here and tomorrow I head in for sinus surgery. 6 weeks off the bike. Plenty of time to go on about my first world problems......

You only live once and if our current Administration keeps at, a nuke might not be too far off, so buy today!I'm on the fence, I was waiting for the GX version to come out and 600USD is still a lot of money, but so was my 6500$ SL comp + 1900 in suspension and brake upgrades as well as bar, stem and peds. The kit comes to 7% of the build so far.
Which, unfortunately doesn't sound too bad to me.
And I really regret adding all that up.
Oh god, not another forum cripple ..Yeah.

I genuinely think ASX and Di2 removing "feel" and natural precision/control (eg. overshifting if ever required on a downshift) from shifts is a downgrade for an mtb. and even more so for an Emtb. With the one exception being Di2 managing your gear ratios if you're a dual chainring XC racer. (it's great on roadbikes because of that feature.)
and yes. I've used both
Even after 14 pints and multiple bong hits I'm not that disabled that I'd need a computer to help me decide when and how to change gearOh god, not another forum cripple ..
How about if AXS/Di2 was also linked in with the torque sensor .. rather than the di2 pulse power .. so you select to change gear, but it doesn't change until it detects x torque so you don't knob up your chain/cassette ? It would require the "Open Torque Standard" or something to be created which would never happen .. but well .. you know .. AXS MUPPET option. .
I in no way agree, but politics should be left for another forum.You only live once and if our current Administration keeps at, a nuke might not be too far off, so buy today!
Welcome back x 5. Glad that you can still enjoy life! Buy it!I in no way agree, but politics should be left for another forum.
Last January my heart stopped, and was shocked back then rudely shocked over and over again - and have used the only live once excuse too many times already, but am likely to use it again at some point I'm sure.

A computer and a servo can't actually do that on a derailleur gearing system used while covered in mud and debris in all sorts of situations and gear combinations while its chain being driven by both human power and a motor assistance as well as a mechanical shifter and mech operated by human motor and brain function can., I want it change gear fast, precise and repeatedly.
is that actually the case - do they not work too well in typical british conditions? - genuine question , as I have never used one. All the reviews say they give perfect shifts every time regardless of everything, dont think I've read a single review (of any electronic derailluer - shimano or sram) that has said the shifts are ever less than perfect.A computer and a servo can't actually do that on a derailleur gearing system used while covered in mud and debris in all sorts of situations and gear combinations while its chain being driven by both human power and a motor assistance as well as a mechanical shifter and mech operated by human motor and brain function can.
Could you buy a really cheap mechanical derailluer and shifter just to keep you rolling? I guess I'd always have some old mech and shifter in the parts box for this kind of eventuality.I’ve had the XX1 AXS kit for over a year now, and have found it amazing. Once indexed properly, I haven’t had to touch it at all. Super smooth shifts, and tap to shift.
The downside is that 2 weeks ago my handlebar controller died, and that I can’t really use the bike without it. It’s been away for a warranty claim - SRAM said they’ll replaced it - however they have no stock, and I’m going to have to wait until nearer the end of April for a replacement.
The controllers are out of stock everywhere just now, but retail at £200 in the UK. I’ve ordered one from Germany, who said they had stock for £165... but so far my ‘4 day delivery’ to the UK hasn’t changed status from ‘ordered’!
Looks like an electronic failure is going to put my bike out of action for 4-6 weeks. Not very convenient. Wouldn’t have that issue with a cable!!
At the same time, my AXS dropper has been away for warranty repair for about 4 weeks now and is also getting replaced. Same story - out of stock, and due next week. This ones not an electronic fault - so can’t blame AXS for this!
