OnTheRicky Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 https://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/sram-xx1-eagle-axs-1x12-groupset-boost-r3000 A review would be great - I tested one and it was cool but in my short ride, I could not slide up and down the gears like I can with the bargain basement xx1- but a car park is not a real testing ground @CWC Online I would gladly do a review for everyone here!
Cacey Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 lol didn't even think about that...at least my 'cheapo' dropper is also held in place with a 'mechanical tether' ....pretty sure a wireless sram dropper will still need to be bled somehow...you know...because reasons taito, on 04 Apr 2019 - 6:53 PM, said:The skelms are also going to watch for this ,,,a quick 15k for a ,,,used set,,,One allen key and you walk away with a $800 dropper posthide it with a propper size saddle bag ..... sorry did I just type that on this forum ....

Ramrod Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Congrats, you need to post a review. Also, how badly did all the pointing and laughing by jealous twats affect you ride?So i only did a 4 hr ride with it. Initial impressions are good. Shifts flawlessly. Literally just tap the button and it moves. On one occasion when i heldthe button in, it shifted a few more gears than i wanted but i put that down to user error. The shifter button takes some getting used to and i am not sure i am used to it yet. I am used to the longer stroke of the XX shifter so just having to touch a button felt strange. I like to cleanliness of having less cables. That being said i didnt put the new casette and chain on. Still running my old ones as it is fairly new. Will use the ones supplied with the groupset when the time comes to replace parts.

ChrisF Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 For the record - On Saturday I did a ride with some 400 other cyclists. I want to appologize to the cycling gods for not searching for anybody using an AXS setup, and pointing and laughing at them .... Frankly, I was having way too much fun cycling and enjoying the scenery and the comradery to be bothered with who used what derailleur

mr HED Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 half of the complaints on this thread were typed on samsung 9 or apple whatever R20k phones.in 10 years we will all be rolling on wireless something . its like LP's - they are cool but which artist makes a career out of releasing them? tech is prevalent in every aspect of our lives, embrace it..it will trickle down to even the level of the LG phone user. typed on an overpriced (but brilliant) MacBook pro.
Hairy Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 how could you tell ... is the auto-correcting that bad on at least half of the complaints on this thread! half of the complaints on this thread were typed on samsung 9 or apple whatever R20k phones.in 10 years we will all be rolling on wireless something . its like LP's - they are cool but which artist makes a career out of releasing them? tech is prevalent in every aspect of our lives, embrace it..it will trickle down to even the level of the LG phone user. typed on an overpriced (but brilliant) MacBook pro.

Overpriced maybe but that finish and feel of the keyboard is second to none. Reminds my of a light weight xco tyre rather than a heavy clumsy am rubber
Mohs Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 If you love gadgets, have a bucketload of spare cash, why are you pretentious for spending what you earned on what you want? Have you tried it, I have. Quite awesome - Would I buy one? Definitely not because it can't shift down fast enough (yet) and 32k is an obsense amount of money I don't have. But I won't judge anyone with this. Don't most of us ride on or with more than we really need? Does that make us pretentious? When I got back in MTB, 1x12 was brand new. I got it and was scoffed at. Now it's the gold standard, not for all, but for most. Besides, with this kit your bike is going to look awesome next to your SUP, golf bag, surfski, kiteboard and Q7 edit grammarhttps://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/357900-sram-eagle-axs-xo1/ Some of you must feel like real tits for paying full price...
