I so badly want to get a Rival or Apex 1X  group-set with hydraulic brakes for my gravel/touring bike.

 

But this "asshole" attitude of SRAM and the even worse service, attitude  and ridiculous prices of the local agents, leaves a bad taste in your mouth (pun intended) even if you get hold of the group-set in the end.

 

I so wish/pray Shimano would come with a affordable 1X group-set with Hydro brakes and a 11-46 derailleur/cassette option at the back.

Problem solved.....

Can anyone tell me if this groupset is available from a retailer in SA? Queried a big one in CT and they don't carry it. Anyone else? Or do i need to get it shipped in?

TIA

Hi, did you ship the groupset in or managed to source one locally?

FYI for those following this thread.

I just took delivery of a SRAM Apex 1x11 groupset, ordered from www.bike-components.de without issue in just over a week, and just had to pay the VAT on pick-up from the post office.

Post mount or flat mount?

 

And what was the costs breakdown?

Was going to start a new thread but came across this one....so lets rather recycle  :w00t:

 

Is SRAM Apex 1 available locally? I remember Bike Addict used to have it on their website. But those days I didn't know that gravel riding would interest me.

 

I've got a GT Grade in flat bar setup (done by previous owner) now I'd like to convert it back to drop bar.

Hi, i bought an Apex groupset off a hubber recently but i think he stripped it from a bike / imported it...i have not been able to find the groupset locally.

 

If you can find, then its a great groupset and cheaper than the force. If you can spend a little bit more, you will find some great force groupsets on the hub like this one...

You will need to check your bike - i think you have post mount so you would need to find a solution for the calipers.
