I just set up an X01 derailleur using with a XTR cassette and since I didn't have the old B-gap adjustment tool but had spares of the new one I just took a pair of pliers and removed the inner part where it sits around the largest cog. That way there is nothing to interfere with the chain/45T cog. But I guess not everyone wants to ruin their brand new stuff.

Using the phone app to micro-adjust is great, as it assigns a numerical value. I have the AXS Gx upgrade with a 175 crank and Absolute Black 30t boost for SRAM. I just ordered some new components. I'm 70 and live up at 7000', so I've decided to put on a 165mm crankset to try easing joint stress. I also just ordered what I need to convert to AXS with Shimano. So, Microspline driver, XT 10-51 cassette, XT HG+ chain, and, I decided that, since Absolute Black makes an oval that is designed to be mounted on a SRAM crank but for use with a Shimano HG+ chain, I got that as well. I like the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear spacing on Shimano more than SRAM, so I'm really looking forward to trying this out! The one question I had was on setting B-gap, which you answered. I'm thinking that the chain lengths are the same moving between SRAM and Shimano, though, correct?

@@LoveMTB Hey there what's up. So just wanted to share my first impressions with you on the Sramano setup(XO1 AXS(used already a little banged up a few scratches), SLX cassette/Xtr chain(1000miles on both), Absolute black 32 oval, 140mm rear travel Yt jeffsy)...I don't want to judge to fast as I gor 2 rides(4h, 1500m climbing, bike park, some blue trails in the woods). So the Pros apart from the obvious are that I don't need to think about how much I need to press the shifter(controller) anymore especially when the hands body is tired. The next pro is the option to shift up/down(app settings) with your pointing finger as on shimano xt shifters(can't live without that option)...interestingly when AXS first reviews came out I was a bit disappointed as none of the reviewers didn't mention this option is available on the new wireless system, luckily it is. The third is ofcourse the zzzt zzzt 😜. Ok for the Cons, the speed, don't take me wrong it's fast enough, but my first after 1 season with an XT setup is that in a situation when coming fast into a corner with brakes and to a step climb, the analog setup was a tick of a second faster there(maybe I just need to get my Sramano shifting technique better) or set my multiple shift from 2 to 3 gear at once. The second Con would be the Sram AXS clutch strength, compared to an Shimano XT it is weak, the chain is all over the place where with the XT was quiet. The third Con would be that the shifter is to sensitive in rough trail situations(the travel of the buttons is a little bit to short I think). Installation, setup(indexing, b gap, limits) all went perfectly and very easy. So do need more riding time to get used to it better. The shifting is good, but I do have one issue, the chain is doing loud clunks when going down the cassette and sometimes has trouble to go up right away, that is probably a little because of the wear on the cassette, but also probably, I think the chain length. On the pure Shimano setup I was running a 34T oval(chain length according to the Shimano 12 speed instructions(+ 5 or 6 half-links), went to a 32T oval now so shortened the chain for 2 half-links. It's 57 full links long now on a 440mm chainstay. I have a feeling that it's still 2 half-links to long. How did you size the chain, Sram way or Shimano way? Probably it should be done the Sram way as it's a Sram derailleur, right? How is your setup working out for you?

I’ve been riding with the same setup (GX AXS, XTR cassette, XTR crank with 30t absolute black oval chainring, XTR chain), for over 3 months, over 300 miles, and it shifts flawlessly. In fact, I think this setup shifts better than any SRAM drivetrain (I’ve owned GX and X01 group sets) and it shifts just as good as the mechanical XTR drivetrain. I won’t go back to mechanical drivetrains. I’m now looking at getting either an XX1 or X01 AXS derailleur (I’m a weight weenie).

I commented when you first released this and you said you will have a follow up long term video. I suppose all is working well. My XTRs shifting keeps detuning during big and long descends when I do minimal shifting. I’ve struggled with this for a long time on my long travel bike (160) and do not have this issue on my hard tail or short travel bike. It seems I am experiencing detuning from cable stretch and I can’t seem to fix it. I will be upgrading to wireless shortly to try and eliminate this problem.

@omeletn 3 жыл бұрын

Yes this is the way!! I've been running an AXS derailleur on my XTR drivetrains on two separate bikes for the past year without any issues! It simply works everytime with a perfect shift. The biggest point to getting flawless operation you hit very well. Proper B-gap adjustment set at sag is key!! I use a micrometer to get the 51t cog exactly at 46mm from the center of the top jockey wheel bolt while at sag. That combined with a properly measured chain using Shimano's 12 speed chain guide, and the shifting is perfect everytime especially under load!!

@@LoveMTB Yeah I've stuck to Shimano's new method for their 12 speed chains. I've seen a lot of guys have shifting issues while they try to chase the perfect B-gap setting which in the end always came down to an improper chain length because they used an older chain sizing method.

@@LoveMTB No, I was running full XO1 (non-AXS) then switched to full XTR, then removed the XTR derailleur to use XX1 AXS. I didn't experience any degradation in performance when switching to AXS. The perfect shift everytime was noticeable from the beginning though! From my experience it shifts just as good as full XTR did, only now I don't have to worry about the need to goose the lever slightly to shift up the cassette at times like I was used to with traditional derailleurs. I was running Di2 on my gravel bike and was longing to have that precise electronic shifting on my mtb, so I bit the bullet and bought the AXS. No regrets!!!

@@LoveMTB Lets see... Favorites: Ease of shifting has to be the first for me. Set and forget, after setup and fine tuning it just continues to work everytime. The battery lasts longer than expected. It's robust, I've smacked them a few times which is concerning everytime because they are so expensive, but no issues yet! Areas to improve: Before GX AXS I'd say price (I own XX1 and XO1) but with GX out now with a small weight penalty, AXS is getting cheaper. I wish the controller was a little smaller, I know it's petty but it is a little chunky for my liking. I wish the controllers were more customizable, I have both the AXS derailleur and Reverb AXS and I wish I could program the buttons to do anything I want such as being able to program a single click, double click, or long press on either controller for whatever I desire.

Would be interesting how you judge the Shimano SRAM mix after riding some time. My experience were really bad and I moved back to 100% SRAM equipment.

@Ropetable 3 жыл бұрын

I had 100% shimano, was satisfied, switched to sram, but shifting was not as nice under load. i have this setup now and for me it works flawlessly. excited for the update though. adjustment is probably not easy

It's all cool and all until you consider what happens when you destroy your derailleur hah. For riders with high risk due to terrain ridden Deore RD (with XT/XTR shifter) is no brainer. BTW. Wouldn't it be better to program position for every single chainring (especially as running on a slightly differently spaced cassette)? I understand that is possible for Shimano, so I assume it is also possible with AXS (maybe the app is required)?

Love your AXS videos, they've been extremely helpful for me as I'm about to take the plunge and install an AXS kit next week. Something I've been wondering about that maybe you can answer though, how about using a Shimano HG+ compatible chainring with a SRAM narrow wide chain, will there be any drawbacks to it?

@@LoveMTB Thanks. I'll be running a full SRAM setup but with Hope cranks and their Shimano 12 speed compatible chainring to begin with.

Is the GX 11s compatible?

@twopogosticks 3 ай бұрын

Thanks very much for your videos and all the compatibility tests! I am loving the Shramano Eagle GX setup, but I still cannot find a reliable information about "per cog" micro adjustments in the AXS app. Is it possible at all ? Or was this "removed" by a firmware to motivate people to spend more money on the transmission setup? Thanks for answer!

My pleasure It is 0.2mm with every click adjust from the shifter or the app. Nothings removed if anything carried forward to the Transmissikn

Been using this setup with slx cassette chain and oval chainring and was working fine for the past month but now it seems to want to jump gears at the top and bottom of the range even after micro adjustment in the middle of the cassette. If I adjust for the small cogs, big cogs start to jump around and vice versa.

@thesupernad 10 ай бұрын

This means you most likely need to align your derailleur hanger. When its gets bent or twisted it affects the angle of the upper cog in relation to your front chainring.

Dear friend give us a vídeo comparing eagle vs axs eagle. The idea of taking care of one more thing (the battery) is very deterrent. Greetings from Spain

Hey! I have XX1 in front and I was thinking to put Shimano XT Cassette and derailleur at the rear end.. would that be compatible with the Chainring?

@Sudhanshuvermaphotography 2 жыл бұрын

@@LoveMTB Shimano parts are available in my country more often than SRAM. So you meant to say I can use SRAM Chain with Shimano rear setup and XX1 crank but not Shimano Chain with SRAM crankset or mixing both won't work at flawlessly? I saw in some of your videos shifting works smooth but wasn't sure of the Chain swap.

@@LoveMTB It is pretty aggressive tbh. The chainline is 52mm and the chainstay length is 435 mm. It never did it with the the Shimano SLX M7100 Deraileur.
