I have a bike older than 2019 I'm just trying to state that bikes with the UDH are not uncommon, and it only came out in 2019 so if sram designed something to fundamentally work with a standard that came out in 2019 people can't really fault them for that

If you bought new, you may have been the target market for something ... wider rims, boost, etc. If you bought second hand you managed to skip the premium for a new bike, and bought a bike from someone who did buy a new bike. At some point you too will end up buying a great condition used bike with a UHD.

If I had an older bike that's not UDH compatible but wanted to upgrade to AXS 12 speed eagle, this new transmission is out of the question. Assumption here is that current AXS 12 speed will be discontinued and once sold out they out. I do like this advancement in tech and the 12 speed AXS is something i would be interested to upgrade to. I am aware that there is will still be stock of older AXS and there is still a 2nd hand market but I am highlighting a valid scenario where this new tech is not available to you unless you upgrade your frame.

Brassmonkey Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 To everyone who still says that a hanger in one form or another is better, and that this is another pointless innovation…. Go check exactly how this beauty works. You could literally stomp on it, and it will be fine. And the parts that can break are replaceable. Go youtube it: game_changing stuff. Like 29-ers. Or bikes with full suspension. Or front only suspension. Or bikes with gears. Or pneumatic tyres. 1 drawback: not cross compatible with older stuff. Headshot 1

The only idea he still clings is that the friction washer will damage the frame over time with multiple impacts. I’m still tending to disagree with him but I’ll reserve judgement until I’m in a position to actually own this kit and run it long term like I have my current Mechanical XX1 (5yrs). I don’t see it as an issue because there are many examples with this solution is employed to provide a no. Slip friction surface on a composite material or a softer material. Caliper brakes (rim brake) mounts come to mind. consider that there multiple design features that reduce the derailleur vulnerability is this serrated friction plate an issue? Maybe but I don’t think it is. Only definitive answer will come from user feedback and owner experiences lechatnoir 1

The same way people moved over to new frames when the shift from V-Brakes to Disc Brakes happened. There are enough battery operated options available to riders on standard frames, and there will still be for some time ... you may even find that the pricing gets a little better in the near future. Run what you have till it breaks, and then look to see what is available on the market. Getting upset because innovation requires change = we may well still just be rolling on fully rigid bikes with K@K@ brakes and components. DieselnDust 1
