Yep. Thats what I'm planning to do. Had hoped it all would have arrived by now, but the shop shuts on a weds, fingers crossed for by the end of the week.
Could the ‘secret’ paddle be used to control the Reverb? And the standard paddle be used to move up and down the cassette?
As can be seen in this article, there are only two physical switches; the 'secret' paddle is just an extension of the thumb paddle, so it cannot be mapped to anything else than whatever the downshift function is mapped to.
You can’t control everything from one control unit no, but as you’d have the reverb remote, you use that for up/down, and the remaining one on the RH unit for the other option. Then the stealth button/what would be the up/harder shift button for the reverb.
It does look like the obvious settings would be up/down cassette with right hand and dropper control on left. I just wondered if you could get away with just the right hand controller for both. If not, it isn't a deal breaker - the price is for me just now but hopefully that will drop and appear to be more acceptable.

Then no. But seeing as the reverb comes with the controller anyway, you may as well use it. im going to use it for shifting, haven't decided which way yet, but might go back to the normal way, until I can set up all my mtbs like that (which may be a while...)
Another thought...will the Shockwiz be integrated into the AXS app?
Not that I can see, but it's hardly a big leap for further down the line. Not sure if other Quark stuff is, like the Etap power meter etc
Apparently some is. Again not an issue but if you are using all the kit then it does make sense to have it all done via a single app.
It’s heeeerrrreeeeee.... (well, at the LBS)

I'm going to have my lunch first...
Must....reeesist....
Got my reverb yesterday, and took me a total of about 10 mins to fit last night. All very simple! Got it from biketart at a £50 discount..
Ffs, Mines been on back order with zyrofishers since release...
Love the biketart guys, they've got £130 off the X01 AXS grouset too if anyone fancies splashing the cash 😀
Do you think the system could work with 11-speed? Would mean I'd just need controller, charger and rear mech.
(hahaha...like I can afford that!)
Had it on for a few weeks now. Threw it on before the first ride and it wasn't bad, one gear was hanging up. Then I red the instructions and indexed it and its spot on now. Shifter is really ergonomic, needed to rotate it round a lot more than normal but he trigger fits in my thumb perfectly, slight movement up and down and I can shift, its just really next level!

100% doesn’t. But it will work with any 12speed cassette
I do find it sad that cycling has got so mad expensive
I think the good news is that their is nothing fundamentaly expensive about wireless shifting. So when it reaches Deore or SLX maybe....
I agree AXS is madly expensive, and I’m sure it will be a long time before wireless shifting trickles down. But equally look at 12 speed - NX/ GX stuff is perfectly good and very reasonably priced...
I’m hoping that shimano start cutting the prices of the cablingjunctions//batteries of the di2 stuff as imho that’s the hidden expense, the wireless bit of axs is a bit overrated as you have the hassle of putting the brake lines thru the bike anyway.
the reverb AXS takes some getting used to after using a cable operated one for some weird reason. well obviously took about 3 situations in reality. nice and smooth & absolutely no lag
I do find it sad that cycling has got so mad expensive
There's always been silly pricey things at the top of the range, the prices drop and the features always filter down to cheaper groups over time.
For context the Deore/NX groups you can buy at the affordable end of the scale are probably well beyond anyone's wildest dreams 20 odd years ago.
I was AXS curious, but to be honest given the fragility of cable driven eagle I would be difficult to convince now. Having something so fragile so low to the ground with such an expensive replacement price puts me right off. I wish Shimano and SRAM would start investing properly into gear box systems.
For those with the AXS reverb, are the dimensions the same as a regular reverb? Rails to bottom of collar being the most important.
Very tempted by one as a single dropper to swap between 2 different bikes, if the dimensions are the same as the hydraulic reverb it means I'll have 20mm post showing maximum on one of the bikes, which is close but doable. I'm willing to bet the rail/head height is more though...
Edit: just re-watched one of the launch videos and they're the same stack height as the standard reverb. Woo!
Does anybody know ridewill.it - they are showing full x01 AXS groupsets for under £1300 shipped...?!
They're a genuine shop by the looks of it, based in Como, Italy.
Might need to add 20% vat and whatever other tax onto that price.
Showing as €1800 now, €1900 for XX1. If based in Italy VAT should already be added.
In stock and £1227.
Weird, I searched from the home page and couldn’t see that.
Edit, ah, shows €1800 on the search results, but £1227 when you click into the description, odd...
Could be dodgy but quite tempted to have a punt, as should at least be protected with PayPal
Yo Tom, how's it going?
Any news?
Drop us a line......
Could be dodgy
True, but at least they did go to the trouble of renting and branding a warehouse (as of July 2018, mind): https://www.google.com/maps/ @45.76085,9.0835724,3a,29.4y,189.21h,91.71t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1ssrKF-r7-PKnwG_95WAMdyQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
Anyway, prices seem to have dropped slightly, €1677 for X01 on r2-bike.
It added 22% tax at the checkout - still a good price but going to hold off for the moment...
Anyone know when they will be available as separates rather than the whole groupset?
Officially, who knows. But some places are selling the 'essential kit' with rear mech, controller and battery/charger.
All the rumours seem to point to July?August time.
Also, everything has arrived for mine now...

out of interest, i seem to have set both the RD and reverb as 'master', meaning the app won't let me assign them to the same bike, so i can't play with the button assignments, anyone know how i can restart the whole process? manual says to follow in app instructions, but it isn't obvious...
https://www.bike-discount.de/en/search?currency=3&delivery_country=190&q=eagle+axs
Between £1500-£1600 on Bike-Discount. Just need about £1400 then I can get it 🙂
It's 1627 euros on r2-bike.com, under £1400 at todays exchange rate.
Huh?
tomhoward,
To prevent multiple master devices you need to pair all devices on your bike within a single pairing session. For example:
1. Begin the pairing session at the rear derailleur. Press and hold the AXS button until the green LED blinks slowly, then release.
2. Next Press and hold the AXS button reverb until the LED blinks quickly.
3. Next Press and hold the AXS button left controller until the LED blinks quickly.
4. Next Press and hold the AXS button right controller until the LED blinks quickly.
5. Then press and release the AXS button on the rear derailleur to end the pairing session, or wait 30 seconds for the pairing session to time out.
T-800
Cheers T-800, will give that whirl this morning, thought I’d done that previously, but may have screwed it up in haste.
Will report back
Anyone got a discount code for r2-bikes please? Groupset and seatpost for 2k, still too much but it feels 'close' to what could be acceptable with some organ sales!
No discounts from me I’m afraid, but 10 points to T800!
Bike-components.de have 10% off sram at the moment, haven't tried the code to confirm it works but they have the full boost X01 groupset at 1511.60 euros, so 1360 euros which is £1194.
That's if the code works, but it's on the front page so don't see why it won't.
Oh and prices are up on r2-bike for the mech and 'shifter' - 750 and 200 euros, then another 70 euros for the battery and charger.
Boost is just for fat bikes, yes? So I'd have just DUB, not DUB BOOST for a 2015 T-130, yes?
