Bike Closet has some Force eTap groupset overstock deals - 1x or 2x road (HRD) groupsets in a few different configurations. I believe this is all 'D1', not the latest Force groupset that was just released.

These don't include chain, crankset, or cassette.

SRAM Force eTap AXS HRD 2x (6-bolt brakes) - $799 https://bikecloset.com/product/sr...-bolt-kit/

SRAM Force eTAP AXS HRD 1x (center-lock brakes) - $699 https://bikecloset.com/product/sr...-lock-kit/

SRAM Force eTAP AXS HRD 1x (6-bolt brakes) - $599 https://bikecloset.com/product/sr...-bolt-kit/

Shipping is $10.

I'm thinking of grabbing the latest kit to get most of the parts I need to move my Rival Mechanical gravel bike over to wireless shifting, possibly pairing it with a Transmission rear derailleur and cassette. Or grabbing the 2x set to have on hand if I decide to build a new road bike... Decisions..

I demo'd a Stumpjumper EVO s-works with AXS and now I "can't un-ride" that.

If this were wide range (long cage) I'd have bought immediately. So thanks!

I was thinking of building a 1x crit bike with this but the prices of 1x SRAM cranksets in 48t or 50t are nuts. Even without PMs

I grabbed a SRAM Red 48T 175mm crankset from Universal Cycles for $300. Look around, I've seen some for sale.

What type of weight savings would etap add over my existing force 22 setup. Bike is sub 16 with cages, pedals, computer, but curious what could be eeked. I'm running mechanical discs, so would need to consider weight increase on hydraulic.
In this case the weight difference is not the issue, hydraulic brakes are so much more consistent than mechanical. It's a safety issue.

Quote from Dimitris :
I would probably pair it with a Eagle GX RD and the whole MTB mullet thing if I was to do 1x12 on a gravel bike anyways...not fit enough* to keep pushing "only" 36T on the double and singletracks I regular in SoCal. This is too close where my 2x is at, but I get a nice 48/31 front to go with a 34T cassette and even that is long sometimes.

If I was going 1x, would like it to be 10-50T (srams ratio ramp spread is Meh @ lowest gears in the 10-50, but the 10-52 only makes it worse) rear with a 40 or 42T front to keep it versatile enough.


Would love this RD to be wider range to at least have some value selling ...I feel like there will be too many in the used market and not enough demand.

*unlike some godly good looking 👌 thigh-model stars in SD who can climb Arette (claimed 40deg / 80% slope) with fixie gearing 😉
That's what I run in SoCal as well for gravel. 38T in the front and 10-50 in the back.

The magic with AXS is that they did not segment the shifter/briefter coms (yet...they did make sure chains, rings and cassettes are completely different between Eagle AXS, road axs & transmission, ffs), so this deal is not separated from long cage RDs, the contrary, if I was to buy this kit, it would be to eventually pair with a long cage RD, just on a drop bar bike.

If I was going for a premium MTB and not a gravel ride, I would go straight for a Transmission and I would not touch the AXS Eagle at this point.

Still waiting for another deal on the GX AXS upgrade kit. I saw them in the $350 range, should have jumped on them then.

I have a new Canyon enduran e CF7 that came with a shimano 105 crank set, Would these be an upgrade? which would be the best kit?

SRAM Force is more similar to Shimano Ultegra, so this would be an improvement in performance and especially weight. Also, these have electronic shifting which would be a huge upgrade if your 105s are mechanical.
