babse Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Mr Schurter like Ajay Gupta, has left the country already.
Spinnekop Posted February 19, 2018 Author Posted February 19, 2018 Mr Schurter like Ajay Gupta, has left the country already. Thought he is staying over until the world cup and subsequent Epic?Interesting.....
shaper Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 SRAM's Eagle eTap might be on the way. Photos posted on Instagram appear to show an electronic version of SRAM's top-tier 12-speed mountain bike group mounted to cross-country world champ Nino Schurter's Scott Spark. https://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/news/article/spy-shots-of-sram-eagle-etap-51790/
V12man Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 Wonder how well the battery stays on when you knock it on a rock....

Meezo Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 pretty cool , but i won't be rushing to get it Shimano need to do something quick if they want to stay competitiveDi2 been out a while, and even in XT! They just haven’t done 12speed yet, but they swear by 2x setups still
Hilton. Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 SRAM Eagle eTap.jpg Interestingly, the rear derailleur looks much closer in mechanical design to Sram Red Etap: .. than XX1 Eagle: The spy pic seems like an early-ish prototype mashup of a Red eTap rear der. with an Eagle xx1 cage. It has no clutch, and the parallelogram they've borrowed from Red looks like it might struggle with getting onto the 50t sprocket.
Nick Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Interestingly, the rear derailleur looks much closer in mechanical design to Sram Red Etap: .. than XX1 Eagle: The spy pic seems like a very early prototype mashup of a Red eTap rear der. with an Eagle xx1 cage. It has no clutch, and parallelogram they've borrowed from Red looks like it might struggle with getting onto the 50t sprocket. The image could be a fake Can't trust everything you stumble across on the internet. Based on nothing but my own day dreaming, I have a suspicion that SRAM may be converging their 1x12 road, cyclocross, and mtb groupsets to a degree.
Skinnyone Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 I reckon it would be really easy to take an existing Red RD and slap an Eagle jockey cage/holder onto it. So the spy pics are probably not far off... Also don't forget all the privateer "hacks" before XTR Di2 was launched, using the Dura Ace RD and fitting a MTB cage to it...using the sprinters shift buttons etc. So to develop this gruppo shouldn't be rocket surgery for the boys at Sram.
