Yup. Got to check it our a few weeks back. Solid group and aimed at the Ultegra price-point. We'll see how it all pans out.

Sram force Etap on a budget
Sram force Etap on a budget
Hello everyone.
I am in the process to build a custom 1X11 titanium bike.
I wanted to put some regular sram force but now I am thinking about upgrading to sram force Etap to get 12 speed, easier assembling, being able to future proof in case I need a 2x
To cut the costs, I would like to know a few questions.
Could you help me ?
Can you buy just the right shifter, rear derailleur, cassette and chain ?
Do you need any other part from this Groupset to work ?
I would buy separately a the non axs sram force left lever and front and rear brake.
Can you set only the right shifter to change speed up and down with the app or is there any other method?

Hey, do folks call the Ultegra version Ui2 for convenience even though they know the D doesn't stand for Dura-Ace, or do they do it out of ignorance that Di2 stands for digital integrated intelligence?

Also, for AXS, you need to make sure you have a wheel that can accept the AXS cassettes.

I wouldn't consider anything electronic but Di2 myself, Shimano nailed it.

And besides, “Digital integrated intelligence” shortened to Di2 is terrible. It says nothing about what it is or does, and sounds like it should be a buzzword for an infernal “helpful” chat client, so I feel no remorse changing it to something even vaguely useful.

Nah fair enough; Di2 is a stupid name, no argument there.

Di2 isn't great, but it's not as bad as SRAM Red Black

Lol, yeah. Hard to believe that one made it from some dickhead's fevered mind, all the way to actual nomenclature.
