SRAM Eagle AXS Groupset (Limited stock)

Dear BikeHub

 

We thank you for the fantastic marketing mileage you provide our brand with this thread. It is unexpected and remarkable exposure to our newest AXS range.

 

Best regards.

I wonder if, down the line, you would be able to successfully integrate AXS, your powermeter, speed/cadence sensors and your gps to automatically change your gears. You'd set the given cadence and power output you'd like to cruise at and it will automatically change to the correct gear ratio. This won't really work for mountain biking but I'm sure it could work on a road bike.

TWO break cables

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

At 33k per cable it may cost a few bob to clean up the Scott ... 

 

 

We surely life in interesting times !! 

 

Surely it wouldn't be so bad if you replaced the breaks with brakes?

[MORNE]

i can forgive breaks vs brakes an all those other ones, bad grammer etc, this is a forum not a thesis, especially if you are harbouring more than one language in one headspace.

....but something that makes me cringe everytime I read it on here is: "ArgusT"

I was convinced this was coming, then yesterday's announcement of the new Rockshox releases disappointed.  I'm hoping they get there for next year.

 

Rockshox have released the AXS dropper, which eliminates one cable.

 

My Trek Kraaines is just horrendous.... 1x shifter, 2x brake hoses, 1x lockout and 1x dropper cable.  Thank goodness I don't have a FD.  It's basically impossible to hang mtb race boards!

 

This groupset only eliminates 1 and the AXS dropper could cut another.  Would love for the lockout to go AXS as well (no I don't want a Spez Brain, thanks).  Heck, I'd be willing to risk wireless braking to clean it up completely!

 

Fox has Live Valve - an automatic electronic shock control system for front and rear shocks.

That eliminates another lever and cable/wire from the bars, but introduces a whole bunch within the frame. 

It would be logical for this system to go wireless in the next iteration

Coming in at about 10 000 €, it's already high up the bike porn ladder.

 

Now clean up those bars with AXS shifter and dropper lever, and all you have is the brake lines (and I wouldn't want those to go wireless).

Just remember to hide the receipts behind the geyser

And just how are you going to test all of  this that you claim it can do....??

 

I agree tech is amazing and yes it will seve its purpose. 

 

Funny enough I own a XX1 Eagle set that I got right here on the Bikehub for a fraction of the price....

 

But hey you do you

You ever wondered why people don't pitch when you throw a braai?????

There is an instagram guy - dangerholm - who does some superlight builds using Scott bikes. He is now busy with a Scott Spark project where is he uses a AXS groupo, ditches the remote lockouts, and is drilling the Fraser handlebar to route the brake cables through it for a complete stealth look - really keen to see how it turns out.

If you are not a Pro sponsored rider....What on earth is the gain here for the average customer....don't tell me weight  or shifting speed bs...

 

If I see you with that on your bike, I will point , laugh and judge you  because you are 100% a stupid pretentious sucker.

Jealousy is a horrible character trait!

[Butterbean]

I really like the oil slick finish... I've always loved it!

 

The price? Got nothing against anyone able to or wanting to afford it... Good for you, in fact... When you're spending nearly 200k on a top end dual sus, this is small change really...

 

My only real worry is the trickle down effect... The tech trickles down, but the pricing trickles up... When the top end gruppo costs this much, you won't be too quick to laugh at an entry level set around the 10k mark... It'll take a few years, but it will happen. Look at entry level cars nowadays compared to just ten years ago... Yes, they're packed with tech, but they still take a lot more than an entry level job to afford without mommy and daddy's help... Same thing will happen in a few years with bike bits... It just takes time...

For now this, rest to follow early

 

Will do, have a nice day.

I think you are confusing jealousy with sympathy...but even sympathy you can go find in the dictionary between sh#t and syphilis

Damn that was lame...come on man, you can do better.

Dude - if you want to mock people with words in the dictionary it's kind of important to get your spelling right
