@jiminstitches full disclosure - I’ve worked at SRAM the last 5 years and was a supported athlete for 6 years before that so I may be a bit bias haha.

That said, I’m such a big fan of AXS. The shifting is a hair slower than Di2, but it’s super predictable. I also never have to adjust the shifting once it is set up, even as the chain stretches over time. I also love 1x. It’s so simple and the shifting is so intuitive.

I actually really prefer Force most days. Feels just the same, but the lower price makes me feel like I can beat it up a bit more and I’m not too much of a weight weenie so I don’t mind the weight difference.

Honestly, even Rival feels fantastic though it’s quite a bit heavier.

checkin in. weather on central coast of california has been extremely mild. trails are dialed after early season rain. my little boy is finally pedaling a bike now (no more strider) and i had time to actually take a snap of my rig.
