after this weekend I am more than happy with the direction they are going in. I got hit by a BMW GS1200 on the weekend. He hit me from behind trying to take a gap that was never there. I have AXS but without the hangerless design. Anyway there is a massive gouge in the AXS battery cover likely from the crash bars on the GS. I have the matching bruises on ankle as well. When it came time to get back up and get going again I had to actually pick up the derailleur battery cover from a few meters away. The derailleur didn't miss a beat, it kept shifting perfectly for the 240km left in the ride. It didn't even need a battery change. So if this new UDH and mounting along with the protection built into the axs as it is. This will be a game changer. I can tell you now I would have had to change a hanger on the weekend if I had a cable shifter.

I did not have any hits yet on my GX AXS, but I agree, it just works and shift perfectly every single time.  Also, the battery life is amazing, cant phantom how such tiny battery can last so long.

I have a spare battery in my tool bag but didn't even come close to using it yet.

Its very reassuring that it can take a hit like that and still be 100%.

I'm not sure what is harder. AXS or dave303. Got run over by a elephant motorbike, continues to ride another 240kms...

Etter! not a lekker story.

That isn't what you nay think it is. I wonder if there will ever be an adaptor to make your older bike UDH compatible?

That will be a challenge, but we can only hope ....

Nope this thing is so you can fit tailfin carriers to the special thru axle tailfin makes. Your biek still needs to be UDH forthis to work.

Older bikes will never be UDH compatible because there just isn't enough space between the 10t sprocket and the rear drop out to fit the Transmission derailleur. This is ultimately the deciding actor on whether or not your bike can fit SRAM Transmission

Yip, unfortunately that's how I also understood it .... .

If you want the fancy new DR, you need UDH, your (my) 2013 old model is not going to make the cut.

To get UDH = New frame and/or bike ... 😪

There is no need to cry - you'll be able to get normal derailleurs for years if not forever. I reckon microshift 10 speed with 11-48 rear cassette is the way to go. Cheap and works great by all accounts.

I'm happy to ride my bike with 12sp GX AXS on a Microspline free-body for many years to come.  BUT I'm not going to say no thank you if a nice frame with UDH comes across my path .... 😊

I really had high hopes for microshift 

 

but to be honest i have yet to see a bike with microshift that shifts decent..... I'm not talking AXS or xx1 mechanical but just decent

 

It might work but I'll rather pay a little more for the crispness of xt or Gx 

You may be right - I'm going on second hand information re Microshift but I'd be prepared to give it a go as the pricing is so competitive even in SA. You're paying a lot more for XT and GX. Microshift is more in Deore pricing territory.

A lot of bikes are coming out with SRAM SX

(Not all of them are cheap bikes)

Is SX any Good ?

Has Anyone done High Mileage on SX ? And can give an Honest Opinion

Asking for a friend.

I had Sram SX on a bike that my boss bought for me, worked okay, I wouldn't say that it is terrible but found that it lost its adjustment more than I would have liked, and needed some help finding some gears. They also use more plastic in it, hence it being cheaper, and in terms of high mileage I only got about 800km out of it before it grew legs, so cannot tell you how well it holds up after that. I would rather look at Deore, there are a lot more positive reviews on it.

I wonder how many sets are in SA
