SRAM Force eTap AXS Quirk
I originally posted this under "Road Cycling" but now that I think about it, it seems more appropriate to post it under "Bicycle Mechanics."
Sorry for the double post.
Hi,
I was lubing the chain on my bike that has SRAM Force eTap AXS. As I was moving the chain through the cogs I noticed something peculiar every once in a while. When I would shift from a smaller to a larger cog the rear derailleur would shift as expected then, in the blink of an eye (literally, like if you blinked you'd miss it), it would skip back and forth between the previous cog and the desired cog, just once, then land securely on the desired cog. After I saw it happen the first time, I ran the chain up and down the cassette about a BAZILLION times and it did it again.
It almost seemed like the RD was trying to calibrate itself or something.
Does anyone know what this behavior is all about?
