Picked up the cold that I've avoided for a few rounds now so a little bummed that I can't capitalize on this 60° day but did use the opportunity to swap in the AXS components that I've been cobbling together over the winter. Levers took some patience to find at a not astronomical price. Because I couldn't not at least take it around the block a few times, coming from mechanical it's not a game changer but I do really appreciate the crispness and ease of shifts. It is nice.
I'm also not a weight weenie by any means but I was curious on real world weight differences since these eagle derailleurs always looked like a bit of an anchor to me. Previous setup was Sram Force 1 derailleur and shifters converted to 12 speed and with a Ratio cage. Previous shifters, derailleur, and cable/housing came in at just 50g lighter than new setup with derailleur, battery and shifters so I was surprised by that. In my eyes I wouldn't even consider that a weight penalty at all. Anyways hoping this weather holds up and I'm improved enough to take it out for a real spin tomorrow!

Love those tires! I just upgraded from the Schwalbe G-One AllRound 45-622 to the G-One RX Pro 50-622.
👀 liking that Modelo sticker you snuck in there.
