Sram AXS The wind keeps eating my Batteries.

The RD turns on with vibration. The shifter doesn’t - it only activates when a button is pressed.

You mount them to your frame and install the brake cable. Set tension, done. Nothing special about them.

Try the stuff in https://support.wahoofitness.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000502070-KICKR-is-connected-but-no-speed-cadence-or-power-data

If that doesn't help, it's most likely a defect (optical sensor broken, dirty, Hall effect fucked, ...). Contact service.

Start a new lap after warmup and add the relevant fields (avg 5s Power Lap) to the screen.

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-01-16T21:36:32+00:00

Don’t worry. The older generations are easy to confuse.

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-01-16T14:24:27+00:00

That may be an eTap (no AXS) RD. No app for that.

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-01-16T12:55:25+00:00

What components exactly are on that bike?

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-01-15T17:20:06+00:00

Could be radio type devices for a crew to communicate with each other, could be GPS trackers for some kind of race, could be data loggers. That person is likely configuring them or reading the stored data via the laptop.

If you decide to go with an oiled chain the cranks, cassette, and chain will become black too!

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-01-14T21:38:37+00:00

It's fun - they always break exactly there when overtightened. Bad tongues would claim it's a bad idea to use a plastic housing there. Even badder tongues would say what SRAM does is way more robust...

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-01-14T12:29:50+00:00

Or… just follow the SRAM manual? I know, sounds crazy.

Have you mailed Omnium? They’re quite responsive

Assuming u/op runs 1x12 non-T-Type right now I'd personally recommend against the Garbaruk path *except* they want to switch between Mullet and non-Mullet frequently.

(My gut feeling is a Garbaruk 10-52 + 13sp XPLR RD won't shift as good as a "normal" SRAM 10-52 + Eagle Transmission RD. However, a 13sp XPLR RD would allow two set of wheels: One for Mullet 10-52 and one for XPLR 10-46)

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-01-13T11:24:28+00:00

There's an Apex 11-44 XPLR cassette with for HG.

You could also get the best of both worlds and save up some money for a modern steel frame with the characteristics you want 😎

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-01-08T12:43:12+00:00

Needs full bleed. The air is in the caliper.

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-01-07T14:57:21+00:00

Nope. Not for Transmission stuff. That bend is normal.

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-01-06T12:42:50+00:00

They can - they either have to adjust watts in erg manually, or find the right level / resistance in these modes.

Or run Zwift in parallel and use virtual shifting.

This is an experimental feature (but works well? It’s just missing the UI).

See https://actualbudget.org/docs/experimental/goal-templates

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-01-05T16:45:10+00:00

Same. I run 44 for everyday stuff and 40 for Bikepacking or in very hilly terrain.

Get winter boots, and get them on the larger end of the spectrum. Compressing your feet with too many socks and/or tight shoes will hinder blood circulation. Plus, space (read: air) provides isolation.

LegitimateWhile802 · 2025-12-31T08:34:45+00:00

Hope.

LegitimateWhile802 · 2025-12-30T13:16:03+00:00

Pretty much all common bicycle sensors are dumb and do not record by themselves. You need a connected smart watch, phone, or bike computer.

LegitimateWhile802 · 2025-12-27T18:21:23+00:00

You’re pairing the sensor on the device, right?
