i just wanted to know, if anybody already uses the wireless blips without the blipbox just communicating of the RD?
1 x 12 Sram Setup
After having massive trouble with shimano dura ace brakes and quality of other shimano parts and missing service, i want to reduce hardware which can break.
I mainly race flat courses and would be interested in 1 x 12 setups you use?
greetings…and tia
Yeah, I like riding on the tops on my gravel bike, so put the wireless blips under the bar tape next to the stem. They talk to my SRAM Transmission RD.
They’re a little larger than I’d like, but overall very happy. Easy to setup, and they work flawlessly. The reliability of AXS is one of the wonders of the world to me. In around a decade I’ve never pressed an AXS button and not had the bike shift. Except the handful of times I let my batteries go dead.
IRRC Sram requires the blipbox to initially configure the wireless blips, but then you don’t need it. This was just their way of still forcing folks to pay for a blipbox that has been rendered unnecessary. You can borrow someone’s blipbox (or etap brifter) to do the setup (since you won’t need the blipbox afterward).
I have 4 blips, 2 on extensions, 2 by brake levers all paired to a Force 2x set up. Press both blips at the same time to change FD, and then any of the blips for gear change
