Hi all
I have a Cannondale slate and I am planning on replacing the group set. My preferred setup would be
Sram force hrd axs f and r mech
Sram force 10-33 cassette
The question is does anybody do 2 x chainrings in 48/35 as per sram that I can mount on my Cannondale sisl2 cranks? I don’t like the sram chain sets but if needs be I will go for a force chain set
Thankyou
Surprisingly, nobody makes 2 x AXS flat top rings yet.
Given the bike, a 1 x mullet build would be your best bet. Plenty of 1 x chainring options to fit your chainset. In have a mullet build on my gravelish bike and the range works well:
Red Shifters
XX1 Rear Mech
X01 Cassette
You'll also need to factor in shifters, chain and free hub BTW. Even the cheapest AXS conversion ain't cheap.
The additional benefit of an Eagle based Mullet build is that there is greater availability of compatible components.
Carbon-ti make 110x5 2x AXS rings ($$$$)
Rotor make 110x4 2x AXS rings ($$)
I’d imagine that someone makes spiders for Cannondale cranks for those BCD.
Whichever way you go it’s going to be expensive!
I’m still waiting for a 10-42 12 speed cassette and whatever associated ‘mid-cage’ mech before I invest in AXS. There’s no way I’m putting a 50t on (the back of!) my gravel bike until I’m at least 50 years old.
Don't knock it until you have tried it! Looks a bit weird at first but with a big chainring up front it is surprisingly useful to keep spinning up gradients you would usually grind up.
Not as good as Di2 for sure, but enough for maybe 6 rides or so with lots of shifting. Doesn't like being stored in the cold and drains easily if the temperature falls. But it's easy to carry a spare battery and it gives you plenty of warning if it is running low. Honestly not a problem in real life.
