Nice piece of kit for the money when you compare to the X01

How much is the derailleur on its own, In case of an accident?
 
£342

How much is a cable!!
Good point, think what you save on not needing a cable for starters .... it's a classic theme though ???

Who has a home phone like this ?

You don't need cordless battery phones, but we've all got them - be far simpler if the thing was on a cable, always easy to find and never goes flat !

Or who has a cabled TV remote ?

Wireless charging ?

Anyone got a MOBILE TELEPHONE ? Yup, wireless communications. Totally unnecessary, but we all have them.

Key ? Or wireless car unlocking ?

Bluetooth headphones ?? Or a nice simple cable ?
 
That's going to get right on your wick when you obliterate it on a tree stump at Rogate.

You just press the reset button and the little nano bots inside re-build it .....

I think it would work out too expensive for me, I regularly use the bottom pulley as a stabiliser . ?

It should probably say on the box in big letters "Not recommended for MUPPETS"
 
Fun thing about posting after Muppets is you can ask 'really' stupid questions. Ive got a 11-speed GX cassette (1150 from memory) ,, any way I can upgrade to AXS with current set up or do I need 12-speed ?

Lovely bit of kit btw ..

You can use the eagle cassette with HG fit to save you having to change the driver.

From SRAM:
Is there a cassette available with an 11-tooth start so I don’t have to change the driver on my rear wheel to XD?

SRAM offers a PG-1230 Eagle cassette which utilizes the HG splined driver body interface. This is compatible with all of our Eagle drivetrain parts as part of the Eagle ecosystem. However, for optimum performance the XG-1275 cassette is used in the GX Eagle AXS offering.
 
SRAM just made destroying the rear derailleur from ridiculously expensive to just expensive.
 
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.
 
This an upgrade I would have seriously considered a few weeks ago.
I rode my mates axs geared bike today and it is impressive and a doddle to use, feels weird that you don't have to push with any pressure to seamlessly change gear.
Another positive is there is no spring to pull the dérailleur back down the cassette, so it shouldn't get lazy at downshifting over time as the regular one does ?
However 3 of our riding group have had their dérailleurs torn off recently, myself included, a replacement was £110 for Eagle gx, I would have been gutted if I had to shell out £350.

this is a very good point Paul Mac.

My original thought's were to upgrade to the standard Xo1 at some point so the dollar difference isn't as much but still more $$ than a replacement GX.

I've never really seen rear mechs as a consumable as I've only broken the the old carbon fiber 9.0's from the early 90's or so. They were just fragile and were changed after the testing was over.
 
I like the idea .
Unfortunately I live in the land of eucalypts . Always sticks littering the trails which means derailleurs are disposable items .
GX at 170 oz $ is my limit . Hell it`s a NX ATM .

Sold! Known this was coming for a month or two but was waiting for it to appear with the distributors. Got a conversion kit on order... to go on my Rise M10, whenever that arrives. AXS plus HyperGlide+ dream team - sign me up!

Yes , I saw Levey and Kazimmer on Pink Bike talkin AXS derailleur with Shimano cassette and chain .
But ,,, nah still disposables here .
 
Looks like the X01 on it's own can be found for €450 ... so presumably less than that ...



I would assume that is just for the derailleur, you would still need the wireless shifter, battery and charger. Unless you buy the complete upgrade kit you have to buy all of those items as they are all sold individually if not bought at a kit.

That's what I'm running, AXS X01 derailleur with a SLX 12spd cassette. Works great.

Yes, it is. It was in response to the question of how much is just a replacement derailleur. (y)
 
This might be something to come around as a xmas treat if this year does manage to come out of the burning wreckage that it started as. I have concerns about having such an expensive vunerable part but having recently had some shifting issues it would be nice to at least change what can go wrong. :)
