Anyone know anything about when 7 speed axs is going to drop.
I've worked out you can just swap over a 7 speed cage but i didn't know how you would adjust the shift spacing as the 7 speed cogs are further apart?
Any answers would very helpful

They actually aren’t further apart. The 7spd dh has the same spacing as the 12 spd one. Probably to swap chains easier. Some already had some sort of xo1 dh axs, for example semenuk at crankworx 2019 or so. Just a shorter cage and a bit of programming

Yea cheers mate
Do you mean to swap to a 12 speed chain and also do you know any programmers that could help me out with making a 7 speed axs drive train

The programmers that can help you more or less all work for Sram. Reverse engineering embedded processors and their code is something that is either done by the company from the source or by someone with a LOT of money and interest invested into the problem. Which are boxes that are not ticked by bicycle components.

I saw on a roadie Everesting vid using Shimano di2 and being able to program for 7 speed, probably work with XT di2.

I have no idea who that guy is or why his watch is cool, but it seems he's called RV and the photo is labeled Harveys in the upper left.

Now back to Tech...

Because he was right and people called him an asshole for posting advertisements that have nothing to do with mtbs when clearly there is a link here and he saw it?

Here is an example of the 7 speed axs on a bike. I was wanting to find out how he programmed it or made it work with the original tuning available

But why does the YT "viral" marketer/shill need an apology?

I would like to back pedal to what bike this is... Is it a dreadnaught or something else?

Looks like a Dreadnought. They said when they were releasing it that it’s compatible with double crowns.

Definitely a Dreadnought. You can tell by the “Forbidden” logo on the downtube near the BB.

Does anyone have any better photos of that Forbidden? Looks like a pretty rowdy build

Sorry indeed regarding the watch it was completely off topic. Being also a watch enthusiast I just spotted that he was wearing what looks like a carbon Panerai Luminor. Nice but rather expensive watch Smile
