FRONT DERAILLEUR With a refined cage shape and added auto trim, the RED AXS front derailleur performs better than ever. Ensure effortless performance on every front shift by confirming installation was completed using our recommendations: STEP 1: USE THE SETUP TOOL ...
Our most advanced front derailleur Every SRAM RED AXS component is refined to create an effortless ride. The front derailleur features a new design for fast and accurate shifts over X-Range chainrings, with no rub or rasp, and our easiest setup yet. Fast, front shifting with RED AXS is ea...
The Apex AXS lineup is specifically a 1×12 setup, meaning there’s just a single chainring up front (thus no front derailleur), and 12 gears in the rear cassette. There’s a variety of configurations within that, which we’ll get to, but this isn’t a 2x configuration that has two...
SRAM has been the force of progress in the realm of bike drivetrains, so it’s key to keep up to date on the SRAM groupset levels. They were the first major component maker to ditch the front derailleur for a 1x11-speed range and the first to introduce the 1x12 mountain bike drivetr...
Good riddance, you stupid derailleur hanger! That’s right folks, the new SRAM XX Eagle AXS T-Type transmission no longer relies on a derailleur hanger. You can ditch your fancy hanger alignment tool, and you can also forget about fiddly limit screws and measuring the B-gap while you’re...
X01, along with X1 and XX1, impressed our reviewers thanks to their unique 11-speed setup where the cassette and rear derailleur were greatly different compared to 10-speed setups at the time to offer a huge 10-42t range, without the option of a front derailleur. The X01 group sits ...
While this new system includes AXS wireless shifting, that feature is not what makes it newsworthy. If you glance again at the image above, that is my foot being held up by the mounting support on what replaces the hanger bolt area of a traditional derailleur. It held my weight entirely*...
The appearance of the massive clutch knuckle is softened on the GX derailleur. Upgrading the GX T-Type cassette (250 USD) to an XO T-Type cassette (400 USD) and GX chain (50 USD) to an X0 chain (100 USD) 'only' adds 200 USD to the bill and based on Eagle and AXS results, th...
For me the most exciting part of the Rival 1 groupset is the rear derailleur. This is a groupset that just works and differentiation comes down to the little things. Two little things that set the SRAM Rival 1 rear derailleur apart are the roller bearing clutch and Cage Lock technology. ...
3.a)Compensation Mode — When you make a front shift, the rear derailleur will shift one or two cogs to lessen the gear step between chainrings. 3.b)Sequential Mode — Just pick easier or harder. The system will choose when to shift the front derailleur. ...
