I've been on X01 AXS for a couple months now. I'm a die hard analog, mechanical guy. I love mechanical watches and clutch pedals. So upgrading to AXS on my new bike was because cables suck, and I wanted to see what the fuss was about. And as much as I hate to admit it, AXS is awesome. It shifts brilliant, I've thwacked the derailleur a few times, and just heard it pop back into place a second or two later. I've micro-adjusted it once since installing. Shifting while rallying through rough sections is easier than a mechanical setup. Multi gear up and down is great too. Stoked GX AXS is here, and hopefully more folks get to enjoy the blissful world of no cables.
