Hi guys, does anyone have a broken left Ultegra or 105 hydraulic shifter they’re willing to part with. I need to cannibalise it for the bladder. Mine has a bad leak.
Winspace has been good to me thus far from a performance POV. I bought a Hyper 47 pair for the road bike and a 38mm gravel pair for the second bike. Highly recommend you check them out.

A friendly word of advice, do not go hookless. Do your own research:)
In the same vein hubbers should be realistic on the asking price. We expect really stupid prices for second hand goods.

This might be old knowledge but I recently tried to import some Sram components from Merlyn and was blocked form doing so.. worked around this by having a friend bring the parts across so big FU! all being said i saved around 50-60% on costs compared to the local shops..
Obviously the local distributor forced this change somehow what's weird is Merlin isn't on the official DI list.
My experience with Dunkeld has been great. After being super fed up with my local Spez dealer and their no care attitudes, I decided to check Trek out. The guys at Dunkeld literally went out of their way to help. Highly recommend the shop
I think Garmin does a pretty horrible job at 1st party mounts. Not to mention I can’t seem to find any local distributors that actually makes Varia mounts. Think I’m going to try and print my own, perhaps do a few different ones.
this sounds like a business idea if anyone is looking for a small side gig.
what do you guys rate?
No probs, glad you sorted it out bud.
in my very humble opinion on SRAM I would say the product/s in general is made pretty sub standard. I constantly need to fiddle with my brand new battery charger as well.
The problem isn’t the Store or the Club. It’s managed by good people.
The problem is the “old boys” club with in the club. People think they own the group they ride with. I also think this is everywhere in any group. CL is just the largest so they have the largest proportion of entitled roadies.
To be honest this entire experience soured the club rides for me. I’ll just cycle on my own.
(Ps, I’m not “bashing” anyone)
to be 100% honest I only went down this road because my local Spez guys had zero stock, I really wanted a Diverge comp
I agree its way over kill however I do see a use case for converting based on how expensive new bikes are.
Update on the topic. I ended up taking the battery cover off and soldering on some pins from my charger. the entire process was a pain and to be honest I'd rather recommend taking the mec to a pro electrical shop to get fixed... You will need a few tools and I had to improvise.
Now on to the real issue, One should not have to cannibalize a charger to reuse pogo pins. The real problem here is a very very poor design from SRAM IMHO. I don't understand why you would use parts that's bound to fail on a non serviceable item. It would have made a lot more sense using the pin idea on the battery instead of the mec or perhaps something that doesnt require a spring loaded 0.3mm pin.
If and lets rather say when this fails again, i'm buying a new Shimano groupo. SRAM can go suck on a pogo pin.
Hi guys.
I have a problem with my sram gx axs derailleur’s right hand battery connector pin. The pin is spring loaded it seem and extends to sit flush with the battery. Problem is it seems to be damaged and only extends half way on its own. To get the Mec to work you have to pull the pin out to its default position with a “tweezer” (I know right..)
is there anyone that can possibly repair the connector?
Out of warranty and I don’t want to replace the Mec just for this silly issue. Any help will be really appreciated
