MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
I've managed to bend the cage on my 6 week old axs gx mech. (Snagged it on a thick bramble as I was following my four year old round on his bike)
Has anyone replaced the cage?
I've seen garbaruk ones which aren't cheap and not found a website with the standard cages in stock.
Any advice would be great as I really don't fancy replacing the whole mech.
Unfortunately it looks like only the inner cage is available as a spare part (and shared with NX / SX) - 11.7518.092.004
I guess you could take a punt on an NX / SX derailleur to scavenge for parts in the hope that the other half of the cage is compatible?
I fitted a Leonardi cage to drop a few grams on mine
Easy to do, two bolts.
Standard ones readily available also

Anything that fits X01/XX1 won't work, threads are on the wrong side.
Or just go for it

Thanks both of you, my issue seems to be that the outer cage isn't available (as frogstomp said).
I'm not really looking to spend £400 for the KOGEL set up to fix a £300 mech as nice as the bits are.
Garbaruk do a full cage but I don't think it fits the gx axs.
I put my gold XX1 cage on my GX AXS mech just to see what would happen... and it was gold.
I know that won't help your situation but, I do still have the GX AXS cage that I took off the brand new mech.
If you end up deciding to replace it anyway, I’d definitely try bending it back carefully first. Don’t know if a hanger straightening tool would help here, as never tried it! Combined with the micro-adjust on AXS might make it serviceable until the next disaster!!
I bought jaymcjayfaces's old cage which were much better condition than mine and I've got perfect shifts again. Thanks for the help everyone
