I was just reading pink bikes review of sram axs, amongst all the superlatives they say it's not quite as smooth as xtr.
Say you sweated money. Could you pair a axs mech and shifter with xtr cranks, cassette and chain. So you get shimanos hyperglide with srams perfect shifts.
Would love some e gears but I'll have to wait a few years I think.
bump for the daytime
I thought the 12-speed stuff all worked with each other, no?
There's a slight difference in spacing between both brands at 12 speed. Some people say it makes no difference, others say it should be avoided.
I'm not familiar enough with the AXS setting and adjustment to know if it can be accommodated or not.
If you setup the mech on the middle cog at the back, there is a 0.5mm discrepancy at the furthest ends of the cassette. The wobbly sram jockey wheels will take this up!
I'm about to put an XTR mech on my eagle setup, as I've had enough of returning mechs on warranty when the clutches stop working. Bring back the adjustable 2.1 clutches, type 3 was a step back IMO.
Currently running an XTR shifter and mech with a GX cassette and Eagle chain, shifting is flawless and has been for 6 months now. See no reason at all that it wouldn’t work the other way around..
Cheers, just need to win the lotto to buy it.
