Wow. Amazing that after so many years, The Mullet is making a huge comeback! That’s called the ASX “air brake” used for technical descents, right? 👀

All I saw was $$$$$$...like that....

it's the same price as the old one, which nowadays is pretty rare.

Otherwise apparently same (shitty for the front) shifting performance. Only upside in my opinion is hoods design. I haven't ridden my Rival ones yet but from what I've seen they are a lot closer to what shimano offers (which is far better).

But the looks... man this looks cheap... The current Rival crank actually looks better IMO

Further innovation from SRAM: with the power meter integrated into the chainring is this a new technology, the disposable power meter??

Can one at least replace the battery?  Or is the power meter done, once the battery reached its max  recharging cycles, or chain rings are worn - which ever happens first?

The chainring will die long before the battery

Hopefully someone on YouTube will come forward with a DIY solution to separate the power meter spider from the worn chainrings? :whistling:

Nope, 100% false. These take 2032 batteries and those chainrings are bulletproof (as long as you stay on top or your chain wear)

Wasn't aware they were not li-ion. I think my point stands though, when you replace you chainring, you now have to replace a power meter unnecessarily
