After getting 1,500kms out of my original 11sp X1 drive train, I decided to convert it to 12sp and finally use the AXS shifter I've had on my previous bikes.
The conversion to wireless shifting on an e-bike felt absolutely amazing. The huge range in gears, not so much.
I was predominantly using the lowest 4 gears and not much of the rest. Now with a 36T upfront the spread is amazing. The first things you notice is that the acceleration is a little slower which led me to increase it from 40% to 60% in MC. I actually have to use the 50T on steep climbs. Hopefully this should help with longevity of the drivetrain. Only downfall was that the chain guide did not fit so I had to order this little guy.
Since the AXS connects to the Wahoo Bolt on the bike it gives me all the data regarding shifts etc. Which is how I was able to get this neat little graph which is a great representation of the shift in time spent in each gear.
What a difference!
