Late november, time for gearing, no?
I believe that's in the calendar for December. Few more days of road bike Vs gravel bike tyre clearance yet plus the rescheduled aggro geo chat that we didn't fit in during August. BN can share the Calendar if you don't have a copy

AXS stuff works great, gearing is good but I'd rather have the MTB derailleur with a big cassette to allow for a bigger chainring and still having a really low gear for loaded gravel climbs etc.

If you're planning for 50mm tyres, then 1x is a no brainer. I'm happy with XPLR for 90% of my riding. The only time XPLR is limiting is if you're riding in a group, sometimes the gaps in the gearing can mean you have to hold a slightly awkward cadence. Eagle with a MTB derailleur will great if you're Ultras with really challenging terrain.

I am trying to plan my next bike. Will be sort of gravel/audax/ultra do it all much like my last one. Ie clearance for 50mm fenders or tyres depending on surface and time of year. I am considering going electronic and 1x anyhow and leaning towards sram now because no cables and a pretty good deal.
Ive never had either electronic or 1x (on this kind of bike) what are your experiences with sram rival and force axs /axs xplr?
