Any news, yet, on where these chains might be on sale?eucalyptus wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 11:08 pm
The most interesting so far is the rainbow cassette and chain...
The 36T is a boat anchor! New chain looks insane! But €82 euro? Jesus christ when you can buy force chains as cheep as €23 from Bike24 i think. That's crazy for fancy colors. I don't think I paid more than €70 for my XX1 rainbow chains.

Compared to the price of the SRAM AXS spider, that really is quite nice.danridesbikes wrote: ↑Tue Mar 07, 2023 11:38 pmnice price on the powermeter

The spider would survive after wearing the chainrings though. Would the new ones not have to be discarded once the chainring is done?kervelo wrote: ↑Wed Mar 08, 2023 6:34 amCompared to the price of the SRAM AXS spider, that really is quite nice.danridesbikes wrote: ↑Tue Mar 07, 2023 11:38 pmnice price on the powermeter

Anyone have weared down the Red AXS PM enough to ask SRAM to replace at 50% discount?

Force AXS PM chainrings already cost less than half as much as the Red AXS PM chainrings, and they’re almost surely identical other than the color. Nonetheless I recently gave up on aftermarket chainrings and switched to the AXS one-piece rings. Shifting has been 100% perfect ever since without any FD adjustment. We’ll see how long it takes for the chainrings to wear out.
Those chainrings are going to last way longer using a waxed chain.
I have had virtually no wear on a RED cassette i bought used at 3500 km and now has 5000 km. The former owner and I were using Silca hot wax.

50% on Red and 10% on Force.danridesbikes wrote: ↑Wed Mar 08, 2023 2:46 pmi'm sure they said on the Escape Collective podcast it was 5%
They shouldn't bother - just make both colors of rings available at Force price.
Who thinks they really are recycled? Plus you would have all the effort/infrastructure and carbon to get them back to SRAM for recyling - not worth it for 10% on Force.
