• Has anyone went from 11 speed red etap hrd to 12 speed red axs or force axs?

    All the reviews online sound more like PR releases rather than any proper long term reviews.
    Love my 11 speed etap, its been literally faultless for me.

    Would like to hear thoughts from any one running the 12 speed axs - any issues or things of note?
    The chainring interface on the red axs cranks is something that looks like an expensive ball ache. But Red axs arms only bought and combined with force spider and rings a possibility?

    Right now selling my 11 speed group to fund a 12 speed group does seem a bit daft.
    But a couple of things do draw me to it. The 1 tooth gaps in the cassette being one and the other being the compatibility with the Eagle axs on my mtb. Potential for 1x gravel mullet set up down the line.

  • I have Force AXS on my road bike and my wife has a 1x Mullet setup on her gravel bike. The 1x mullet is great: super easy to setup, braking is much better and consistent than previous gen eTap, it looks friggin sick with the 'oil slick' bits, and the app works well. Force 2x on my bike is a bit more fiddly. No where near as 'bad' as SRAM mechanical in terms of setup precision, but still not just a case of bolting it on and riding into the sunset. I've also found my Force cassette quite noisy. I don't if this is because I'm using wax lube, or something else, but I've checked alignment etc.

  • dibs on your etap hrd if you sell? I'm local too so no postage worries...
