SRAM Killed Their Best Drivetrain.

SRAM killed their best drivetrain. Here is why the discontinued mechanical XX1 Eagle is lighter, more reliable, and superior to the new electronic T-Type Transmission. I scored 2 a heavily used SRAM XX1 mechanical derailleurs and shifters for $100 on Facebook Marketplace while down in St. George. In this video, I break down exactly why professional riders and mechanics are sick of the heavy, battery-dependent Transmission setups and why this older carbon-cage generation remains the benchmark for performance. I also cover a crucial technical warning for anyone shopping the used market: why you need to avoid buying clapped-out mountain bikes from desert locations like Moab and St. George.
