This gets you the same high range as the 10-26 and 10-28t cassettes, but with bigger jumps at the top end of the cassette to get up to the 33t cog – 10,11,12,13,14,15,17,19,21,24,28,33. Out back, I again skewed towards the low side with a 10-33t XG-1270 cassette. All in, 807g gets you a 2x crank with 172.5 arms and power.Īdd in a SRAM DUB bottom bracket to complete the crankset, and you’re looking at another 73g for a BSA threaded BB. At the crank that meant the use of a 46/33t chainring combo and this crankset is equipped with the AXS Power Meter. Here an aluminum cage and steel pulley bearings are used which add a tiny bit to the overall weight of the group.įor the gearing, I opted for the lowest gearing possible since I would be riding somewhat loaded and for the most part it was a good decision – but more on that in the next post. Keeping things simple, for now there is only one rear derailleur model that will fit up to 33t cassettes in 1x or 2x configurations. The rear derailleur also uses the same battery, and weighed in at 325g. Checking in at 199g with a 31.8mm front derailleur clamp adapter, the derailleur was weighed with the rechargeable battery which is the same for all eTap groups. Not to mention if I want to switch to 1x, I can just ditch the front derailleur and run up to a 33t cassette on the same rear derailleur, though that certainly wouldn’t provide the same range.

I’ve been spending a lot of time on 1x groups lately, but for this build I wanted the range of 2x – plus I just wanted to try the full set up. If you’re not into disc brakes there is also a SRAM Force eTap group with mechanical levers for rim or mechanical disc brakes. It’s also available in Centerlock, with both options offered in 140mm or 160mm sizes. Opting to run 160mm rotors front and rear for this build, the six bolt Centerline XR (CLX-R) rotor is the same that you’ll find with the SRAM RED group and weighs in at 117g per rotor without hardware.

Pro Tip: when you’re ready to connect the hoses and bleed the system, you’ll need a newer SRAM Bleed Kit that includes the Bleeding Edge connector for the caliper bleed port. SRAM Force opts for a two piece caliper design instead of the monobloc calipers found on RED, which results in weights of 166g and 180g for the front and rear brake respectively with full length hoses, 160mm rotor adapters with hardware, and a pad spacer. The biggest difference between SRAM RED and Force shifters is the addition of a second Blip port on the RED shifters for a total of 4 (Force has two), and different materials for the lever blade.
As part of the AXS family, the shifters feature hydraulic brake levers and single buttons for the wireless electronic shifting operated by an internal coin cell battery. Starting at the controls, each Force eTap AXS shifter came in at 238g. This Force group ended up being the catalyst of a new project built (hinted at by the title photo), but first, let’s check in on the group itself. Essentially a more affordable version of the SRAM RED eTap AXS group, the Force edition brings improved wireless shifting to a more affordable level. On the road side, one of the biggest introductions has been the new SRAM Force eTap AXS group. It’s been an exciting year for new 12 speed groups – for both road and mountain. Support us!
