SRAM Force1 2.1 vs. 3.0 RD?

tlarwa · #1 08-09-2018, 02:29 PM

Can anyone tell me the differences/changes between the 2.1 and 3.0 versions? I have a line on a Force1 2.1 long cage RD and am thinking about replacing the Apex1 long cage RD that is on my Marin Gestalt (2018 model). Running the 10-42 cassette and 42 tooth single chainring. Any issue with this swap that I should know about?

Nope, do it up!
The 2.1 is a great RD.

one costs twice as much as the other

oh, and:

"Uses improved Type 3.0 roller clutch design."

Im sold! ha!

(there was nothing wrong with the existing 2.1 design, or at least nothing that ive been able to discover in 2 years of abuse)
