SRAM announce hangerless Eagle Transmission drivetrains

[DieselnDust]

If the gap between the smallest sprocket and inside edge of the drop out is about 4-5mm then the frame is likely UDH compatible 

#i did say likely

not all compatible Frames are listed because not all manufacturers fit the sram udh. Some use their own drop that is made to fit the udh mounting template

“Amish mtb components FTW” - disgruntled SRAM AXS owner.

i run a bar end shifter on my gravel bike. I like manual cars. I enjoy the involved act of cycling.

 I maintain that in an overcomplicated world I crave simplicity in the things I value most.
I see the value in this new hangerless bs…but please don't take away load-shedding addition rear derailleurs😅

Aint nobody got time (or electricity) to worry about charging a fn bicycle.

👍 … UDH compliant frame, remove the hangar and install a T-type derailleur. Which will include Shimano even, at least going by the current patent circulating.

How do you know this ?

Can you supply some proof ?

 

This Merida 160 Bike Has the Whole New XX Eagle Transmission Derailleur

 

 

.  

I freelance with some of the industry media and tech areas. 
The UDH standard and T-type derailleurs have been in development over a few years. Other than comms from the marketing dept and supply chain/product managers I had seen some of original test product on the derailleurs with engineers a few months back. At the time the information was under embargo, especially for the T-type derailleurs and new drivetrains. 

More recently some of the SRAM staff have also confirmed the info in discussions since the official release during Epic. SRAM also had one of their senior staffers at the Cape Epic.

Yip, that is a 2023 model, and pretty blady mooi! It’s a UDH compatible frame, which relates to the hangar. Remove the hangar and fit the new type drivetrain. On a side note, always felt Merida are woefully underrated and undervalued bikes here in S of A.

Dino, could you please provide some proof that you ARE in fact on the ground in amongst it?

You could very well just be sitting at home making this up....... 😋

Jokes aside, I think Meria made some really good bikes that perform well, but a lot of the mountain bikes hurt my eyes. They made some fantastic Enduro bikes too. I've just always been put off by the aesthetics.

slapped a Vernier on my 2018 YT and it comes in at a 4mm gap...may be in luck with the UDH, just need to really test my luck on winning the Lotto in order to buy the grouppo

went to look at the SRAM list of bikes, and left thinking I need an Izzo in my life

just need to ride it, if I had it

If the bike has got one of these its UDH compliant.

Well ya if it’s got a UDH then it’s UDH compatible duh….

I think you  mean if its got a UDH hanging a conventional derailleur then it’s sram direct mount T-type derailleur compatible.

I have a 2015 BMC FourStroke4 02 which means it will not be UDH compatible. Which means I will not be able to fit any of the new AXS groupsets. Unless I up my TIG welding skills and modify the swingarm. On the 02 the swingarm is Alu while the rest of the frame is Carbon.

I looked at new bike prices and instantly developed heartburn.
