• It does, it's rather worrying (with regards to their mechanical ability) if that's the case though.

    I'm going to keep the Kogel wheels in there - after all, what's more fun than setting up AXS mechs of an XTR drivetrain? Setting up modified AXS on an XTR drivetrain.

  • Setting up modified AXS

    As an experiment I took the cage off and tried to put on a shorter cage from a 7 speed gx dh mech.
    I wanted to see if I could have 7 speed axs on my dh bike like this prototype

    But the cage I had didn't fit correctly, the pin hole for the return spring was in the wrong place. I realised the prototype one uses a Force 1 short cage.
    But I abandoned it as I had to set the limit screws to physically stop the mech shifting beyond the biggest cog. I was worried that the motor could be damaged and didn't want an £800 paper weight.

    A complete waste of two hours but fun nonetheless.
