I don't disagree with you about bad roads, because I've ridden worse ones. But on those roads, I dreamt of the government repairing them, rather than bike upgrades. I do admire the the SRAM tech, however, so I guess I am a bit of a princess. |

would rather be on a etap AXS group bike with 50mm tires and disc brakes... wearing rapha head to toe. Tubeless tires too.
I am just trolling but for real. |

Also, I just realized there are only 4 12s cassette options available with a 10t cog. The three released with this group and the mtb 10-50 cassette from sram/shimano. When are we going to see some real 1X cassette options? I'm looking at you 10-42! |

I appreciate SRAM for innovating and bringing new stuff to market, it pushes the giant that is Shimano to respond and gives us options. Even if we don't buy SRAM we benefit from the competition they bring. |

Hmmm...

We should do a poll to see what the forum average is for chainring life, barring accidents. I would be curious to know the results. It looks like a bad way to go about doing a crank but SRAM may be in line with the disposable mindset consumers of today. I wonder if the issue will play into the decision of whether to buy this or not for the masses. |

Thanks!

I keep up with bike stuff but don't personally have use for for a power meter and know only what I read. Brand wise, who/what is the "go to" power meter brand and is the technology changing rapidly enough to obsolete quickly what is offered today? I remember reading something about power meters in pedals awhile ago. |

That's certainly the case for me. For example, I have a 'compact' (110mm BCD) crank on one of my bikes, and while I normally stay with a 52 tooth outer chainring, I regularly swap the inner chainring between 38, 36 and 34 teeth, depending on the kind of riding I'll be doing.

I wore out chainrings on a gravel type bike in like 3 years.. it wasn't a lot of miles. Seems like it mostly had to do with the right kind of grit getting in the chain. You will know if you wear out rings, it is a bit scary!
I have had others wear out faster though. Let's be real, there's a large segment of customers for this new eTap AXS who will pass their relatively unworn chainrings on as soon as eTap AXS 2.0 comes out in 2021. They won't care about having to replace the PM with the rings. |
