Sram Red 22 availability

[thisismyotherbike]

 

Frame is Chapter2 Tere rim brake. Got it at 65% below retail so couldnt say no.

 

There's another hubber in Kuilsrivier who has one of these, it's just gorgeous.

 

A silver Red 22 with some shallow carbon rims would look great with it...

yeah i've chatted to him a few times... Chris.

Planning 35mm carbon wheels from Ican, they come in at 1251g a set for clinchers.

 

I'm only doing this build in Dec/Jan as I just put together a Swift Uvox a month ago and the wife will murder me if she hears about another new bike.

Happy Friday all.

 

Just checking if its still possible to buy a new Sram Red 22 groupset ? Been searching the webs and not much available. Looking to do a lightweight build and this is the best option.

 

Thanks

I just purchased this from Wiggle with the help of a buddy abroad. After looking quite intensely for Etap upgrade here, then Red 22 I found nothing that wouldn't make me hold my ankles when one does price comparisons with overseas websites. Ended up getting it at a reasonable price but courier costs, vat and customs added quite a bit to the overall price. Was still cheaper all in all when one compares the price I would've paid for it here had I found stock anywhere!

Ek soek ook al 3 maande lank vir n Sram GXP crank in 52/36 172.5mm, maar geen "luck" nie.

I have a brand new one for you but 170mm long and with 50/34 blades. Let me know if you're interested.

 

Regards,

Can save you some money..... pick up a SRAM Red 10spd groupset perhaps in the classifieds on the cheap, then sell the shifters.  Import Red 22 shifters (which will reduce duties) and you are good to go 

 

SRAM 11spd and 10spd are interchangeable.  So can use a 10spd RD, either 10spd FD (yaw or not) with Red 22 shifters.  Just fit 11spd cassette and chain.

 

I have this setup on my training/IDT bike, works perfect.  Only thing with 10spd RD you are limited to 11-28 cassette unless the RD is wifli

Thanks, thats handy info.

Will be my first time moving away from Shimano so still need to catch up on all the SRAM tech stuff

Veebee I have a sram red double tap groupset for sale.

 

Will dig up some pics and post them onto here if you want ?

I found the force 22 front derailleur is much, much better than the red.
