In this video I test the waterproofing of the Sram Force AXS Derailleur. I also take a look inside to see what is inside. Do we find a small hamster on a wheel? What magical wizardry do we find inside? You will just have to watch.
@@alloutbikes this is the only video in the world that has someone actually removing the pins. Can you please tell me exactly what tool you used to removed this pin? I’m very glad I found your video. Now all I need to do is wait for your reply. Thanks in advance!
My Eagle XX1 AXS derailleur went all floppy just before the 2 year warranty period was up. With the help of my local bike shop SRAM replaced it FOC after around a month. Otherwise, I would think that pins from another SRAM (cheaper non AXS) derailleur would probably fit but luckily it didn't come to that. For information, my floppy AXS had done around 10,000 miles (16,000 km) in all conditions including sloppy UK mud.
There are many ways the derailleur can develop play. This one was due to worn pins. But I guess you could get play from the gears. Thanks for sharing.👍
Do you remember what torx sizes? On my sram red etap it has a bolt or screw I think should be a bit tighter as not as flush as the other, it just one that near jockey side and closest to where cage attaches seems 1-2mm proud of the other near it
Thank you. If I could have removed the lever from the body of the derailleur I could have taken it apart with less carnage and could have seen the position of the parts.
@@alloutbikes indeed im looking for the same tool, look like you need to remove the pin that hold the lever, but i dont know how yet, already broke one red axs in name of science too, but no luck so far.
Question for you: I have a sram force wireless deraillur on a scott addict 2021..I dont have many miles on it and it is rarely in the rain..What should I be degreasing and lubing (without taking it apart)? And same question concerning the shifters..Any help would be appreciated..
I'm sorry. I didn't compare the sizes. I will have to get another derailleur for comparison. Sorry for not being able to answer your question. I will find out👍
I have a pin backjng out on my rear mech tht does not have a retainig clip that i can see. Has anyone else had this lne back out and if so is the solution to buy a new pin like in the other 2 pivot locations? Thanks in advance. This video was very informative amd helpful.
I'm sorry. After the video someone called the shop and wanted to buy the parts. His derailleur did the same thing. I sold what was left to him for $20. When I get another one I will do a video one the measurements. Thanks for asking and sorry I can't help.👍
How many miles would a front or rear electronic derailleur last before needing to be replaced? What parts can be replaced if they fail ? This is my main concern with electronic because they are expensive
Nice Vid, I assume you cant get the pins from SRAM? I have a red RD that one of the pins came out of after 40,000km, I was hoping to find one to revitalise it! I have already bought a replacement though
A company from the Netherlands called Leap Components sells bushing replacement kits on their website. Although currently only marketed as a kit for the eagle axs mtb derailleurs, but it would probably be stupid of SRAM to make two types of pins and bushings. They also have a yt channel. I think you can get your derailleur sorted out with their parts
No. Sram doesn't supply parts but there are a couple of aftermarket suppliers of parts. Just Google Sram axs rebuild kit and you will find your parts. Goodluck.👍
No. All I needed was a replacement pin but Sram doesn't sell new pins. I will be saving all bad E derailleurs in the future to rob parts off them. I found that some of the pins are interchangeable. Goodluck👍
Performance wise......Yes! I like both. For my everyday bike it is amazing. The bad thing about electric shifting is keeping the battery charged up. If you don't keep the battery charged you ruin the battery. I have to charge mine up about once a month.
@@alloutbikes hey dude, thank you for interesting video, I would not be brave enough to put it in water for a week, but before disassemble it, first I would try it out with battery on it. My problem is different, my rear derailleur drains battery in one day. I have two batteries and I switch them between front and rear derailleur, and doesn't matter which battery I use, rear derailleur drains it. Any hints/advices are welcome!
Don't reproduce this opening methodology. If you do like that, you will broke the circuit board at least. What you need to do to access the gearings on road RD Force or RED is to remove the arm on the opposite side, then once the arm is disassembled from the gear you'll get access to the whole electronics, motor and gears without applying any strength all parts should come easy.
The derailleur wasn't any good so I wasn't worried about saving it. I do appreciate the heads-up it won't be often needed since Sram just wants you to buy a new derailleur instead of repairing it. Thanks for watching.👍
No bearings or sleeve bushings and using low grade materials... Junk! Planned Obsolescence designed in. 40yr old Shimano and Campy mechs work like clockwork and still can get parts.
My rear red axs, suddenly is select 1 gear up according the select speed on shifters . I have 5 on the shifters, the derailleur is on 4 cog. Dosnt go at 12. Is something broken? Out of the bike is moving by hand without any resistance from low to higher gear with a little push. Is 4 months old
@alloutbikes I just fixed it at home. The long part of the big spring for some reason moved from the position that sits(on a small arm that move the derailleur)and prevents the movement of the derailleur towards up. All these happened when I reinstall the rear wheel, probably I pushed a lot the derailleur with the cassette. Very strange. At least now is working and I will not spend 500-600£!! I only lost my training, my evening and 5 years of my life!!
