I recently fixed my "broken" AXS rear mech with a part that cost 80 pence RRP but SRAM don't offer it as a spare because then you'd realise how cheaply they're made.

Did you post this somewhere? I don't own AXS (yet) but if I do I want to know if I can fix it.

If you can use a hot stick to turn metal into liquid and drop it onto tiny fiddly as fuck little springs, then yes, you can

I am good at melting things. Less good with fiddly things. But I am stubborn and my partner is patient so we can probably achieve the end goal necessary.
