There shouldn't be any difference in charges- unless ups charges more for admin?
But ups can be far quicker than the DHL option as it swaps to parcel force in the UK and they send out a customs letter so you can pay the charges. I've waited 3weeks for the letter to arrive before. With ups you can pay the customs charges whilst the parcel is in Germany - I've had 3days door to door with them before.
Fitted and one ride in. Just to say - I love it. After 2 years on 12s with the shifting/mesh varying between "just a shade out and I can't quite fathom why" to "dog's dinner", I have now finally got a bike with a faultless feeling drivetrain. Admittedly, it's not just the mech, I've changed other stuff too.
Personally I'm cool with the default shifter and which button does what. I like how it's a bit of a thumb rest with up for up gears and down for down.
I'm still undecided on the button, I have my levers quite flat and as there's no adjustment on the Hope MMX adapter, I end up pressing on the 'point' of the upper paddle to shift.

Off out for a ride now so will give it some more time before I change to the new rocker paddle.
Arrived yesterday, fitted this afternoon 😁. I do feel rather decadent having AXS on both my MTBs but what the hell ! 🤪
Nearly 4 hours and 321 shifts later (the AXS desktop app is sooo nerdy!) - I think I'm happy with the standard rocker, only had a couple of wrong way shifts.
Re. With the hope mount
The upgraded paddle is better imo. I also 3d printed a new adaptor with more angle, but couldn't get it stiff enough compeared to aluminium. Got used to the original now.

I need this kind of data in my life.
Heads off to wrestle with apps for Garmin watch, SRAM....
Quick question about the GX AXS kit...
Does it play nicely with Shimano 12 speed MTB cassettes?
I'm looking at using AXS with an XT 10-45 cassette but don't want to buy stuff if it's not compatible.

Mine is on a Garbaruk 10-52 cassette which is Microspline so I think shimano spacing, and it replaced a shimano mech. It works perfectly on that.
Perfect, thanks for that.

I use mine on 12s SLX 10-51, it’s perfect.
Arrow Cycles in Lincoln have the upgrade kit for £399

There's a whole article in Bike magazine on how great AXS is with Shimano cassette and chain.
