Poll: What's the Right Way to Configure an AXS Shifter?
@Explodo: this hopefully gives other players scope in the market to continue with mechanical though, meaning we’re not beholden to the Sram/Shimano duopoly, which is a good thing!

Poll: What's the Right Way to Configure an AXS Shifter?
@psycln: yeah I feel that. I’m thinking about reverting to the previous axs shifter with the updated rocker, it seemed way more ergo than the new t-type one.

Poll: What's the Right Way to Configure an AXS Shifter?
People still getting upset about electronic shifting? You don’t HAVE to use it, plenty of alternatives, probably not worth losing sleep over it. Bikes are continually evolving, if you can point to a moment in time at which everything is/was perfect and there should be no further change, evolution or advancement in bikes, then I reckon you’re lacking imagination. Ride what works for you, save your gnashing of teeth for shit that really matters!

Poll: What's the Right Way to Configure an AXS Shifter?
I’ve got the new GX shifter mounted via matchmaker, it’s a weird blocky adjustable mount point that gives a bit of inboard/outboard range, but even as far inboard as it can go attached to my old version code rsc brake it’s still annoying too far into the grip. Feels and looks like a really half-arsed implementation.

Bike Check: Rhys Verner's Forbidden Druid Enduro Race Build
@onawalk: yeah, I haven't found a conclusive answer to the that vertical travel + rearward travel measurement, but it's a curve so its not a straight forward calculation. I'm not sure it's as much as 150, but hard to say. I'm hoping to actually ride it properly (vs the carpark at the shop) this week!

Sorry mate I should add that I missed one of your posts where you explain in a more reasoned way why you’re surprised, but also that you get it. I’ll see myself out…
