• Ah gotcha thanks both.
    Compensating mode is Sram’s thing where it will shift one or two cogs at the rear when you change the front to give you a natural next gear rather than a big jump. I take some satisfaction when executing a simultaneous shift like that on a mechanical system, silly as it sounds.

  • I use 1 gear compensating on SRAM Force AXS. As you say, on a mechanical system I would almost always shift them together, so that setting makes most sense for how my habit is already trained.
