eTap 11 speed and AXS eTap 12 speed cross compatibility
Hey y'all,
I have a curious thought. Although the 12-speed Force/Red AXS cranks have grown on me aesthetically, I still don't want to throw down the money for those cranks. I am playing with some mix/match drive train testing to try to upgrade to wireless shifting from my setup incrementally.
Currently I have:
* Shimano 11-speed 11-30t Ultegra Cassette
* SRAM Red22 eTap 11-speed Exogram Cranks 50/34
* Force22 Shifters
* Force 10-speed RD (running it 11 sp)
* Red22 FD
* Shimano 11-speed Ultegra Chain
What I'm considering trying...
* SRAM Red22 eTap 11-speed Exogram Cranks 50/34t
* Shimano 11 speed 11-30t Ultegra Cassette
* SRAM Red eTap 11 speed RD
* SRAM AXS FD (no pref)
* SRAM AXS Shifters (rim brake version probably)
Would this work? I know that a new firmware update allows for backward compatibility for the new AXS shifters to work with 11 speed eTap RDs. but not sure if the shifters can be programmed to work with an eTap RD and AXS FD at the same time. And if I had an AXS FD with 11-speed RD, will I have problems shifting the FD??
