  • The video covers my ULTIMATE setup for 1x SRAM AXS shifters on a gravel bike. Using a combination of eTap MultiClics and Wireless Blips, I'm able to shift up and down with either hand on either lever, and up/down with each thumb with my hands on the top of the bars.

    Being able to shift up or down with either hand is the pièce de résistance! Whether it's fumbling around in a jersey pocket for snacks or holding a camera for that bike selfie (or UA-cam video) having the ability to pick your ring 😜 is sweet!

    The setting Completely makes sense
    Thats what i was thinking during my endurance riding haha. when one hand is required to do something that setting is going to be shine.

  • @TomSchillemans

    This setup makes a lot of sense actually!
    Having the blips reserved, you basically create the Campag style of shifting. shift harder with your index finger and easier with your thumb!
    Great tips this.
    In a week or two I'll have my first sram axs bike as well and I am looking to add the blips to the front of the bars so I can shift while climbing but maybe adding another pair is a good idea too

    I added the new wireless blips into 3D printed holders on the ends of my redshift quick release aerobars. No hassles to take on and off. If only we could get a combined blip push to act as Garmin page changers.

  • @jonathanzappala
    @jonathanzappala Рік тому +1

    I tried to have one hand control with di2 2x. It was too much for me I kept reverting to mechanical habits. But a separate shifter might be the answer for me. If I ever were to do it I’m happy with normal controls.

    I just went for climbing on my CX/Gravel bike. The 'Sprint' options for the thumbs seemed a bit excessive for me. But it is a nice to have when you're "hanging on" in rougher terrain I suppose, and the thumb is all you need to up or down shift.
    On the roadie (which I have Shimano Di2) I love the buttons in the top of the hoods, which I configured for shifting. Between that, and sprint shifters and the normal paddles, I feel like everything is covered.
    Personally, I find the SRAM hoods are just not that comfortable.
    Is it just me or they an odd shape and excessively oversized compared to Shimano stuff?

      The Red HRD levers are chunkybois. The new Rival shape/size is nice. I expect that redesign to flow ‘up’ to Force and Red soon.

    Extra switches cost maybe 30 cents at the manufacturing level, there's no reason theee levers should have like 5 switches on each, couple on the body, couple on the knob, so you can customize for whatever positions you use.

  • @riverbull5112
