Stronger riders will change their chainring appropriately, if they need more speed.Get Bikerumor’s top stories delivered straight to your inbox every week!“there is effectively no other way to gear small wheeled bikes high enough.”I am surprised they did not make this Microspline to get a 10 tooth there.I can back pedal on all my modern groupsets : Sram Force 1, Shimano ultegra and Sram 12sp GX groupset.Best thing out of everything here: RX812 rear derailleur. For example the 11-speed GRX shifters would work with a current Ultegra rear derailleur, or vice versa.
You should be able to.I actually have a 105 R700 with an 11-40 cassette and 38t chainring on my gravel bike with no road link and it works perfectly. Why? Your comment reminds me of a 2016 Facebook political ad.can I use my ultra-shifter 8000 with the front derailleur and crankset GRX?Should have called it: UlteGravel.I currently have full 105 r7000 with compact crank and a 11-34 cassette. We are testing a (mostly) GRX RX600 mechanical groupset with hydraulic brakes, here are all the details, plus weights,
For those new to the concept, these are mounted to the tops of your bars, and allow you to brake from either the normal hood position, or the top of the bar for added control.FSA makes 55/44T cranks for folding bikes for this very purpose. This is hipsters peanuts. As others have mentioned, better late than never, but this is too late.
GRX represents Shimano’s first foray into single chain ring (1x) drop bar drivetrains, but 2x options are still available with a new wide-range pair of chainrings. looks like a 2004 brake lever.Next down the line is the 11-speed RX810/812 mechanical groups, also with hydraulic braking. reminds me of the mounting style of the Trikstuff Piccola. I’m going over to the Legan’s house to see this stuff in person…Click on the image above to see the full pricing chart.
Why the heck not ??? I’m betting the existing front derailleurs can handle the extra one tooth difference and that the 2.5mm change in chainline can be easily accommodated with limit screw adjustments.Seems like a lot going on here. At lower speeds, it’s pretty good but you’re right, on the smaller cogs/higher road speeds, the gaps can be a little annoying.
2x option is the same as current generation of road RDs. when?I think you mean Ultegra R8000 shifters?
All cranks are available in 170, 172.5 and 175 millimeter lengths, and the RX600 series adds a 165mm option, and it’s used for both the 10- and 11-speed chainring options, but those 10-speed chainrings are a distinct part number and are 10-speed specific.I was actually pretty excited about this, I have a hacked 1×10 Shimano setup on my gravel bike, and it looked like this might allow me to move to 11 speed and have a system that works a bit smoother together, until I realized that the levers only support hydraulic breaks. Best to think of it as an RX8xx level that’s Ultegra equivalent, and an RX6xx level that’s on par with 105.A lot of ‘gravel’ rides would include some significant stretches of tarmac to get to the gravel.
There are differences from what I have read between Ultegra and 105 that would deliver difference in durability. the mofo is even uglier as hell. I may give up and switch anyway.I pointed that out on a thread somewhere. As lame as a 10t on a pro tour bike on the road. Aluminium of r785 good, carbon of r8070 less so.LOL! Pain to bleed and pretty crap on a trail.
An 11-46 would match the range of SRAM’s 10-42 so should suit a lot of riders.
