Ratio Technology has released a kit that enables you to convert 11-speed mechanical SRAM road levers to work with SRAM\u2019s family of 12-speed eTap AXS cassettes. The \u00a399.50 \/$112 \/ \u20ac99 \/ AU$158 kit will work with shifters for both rim brakes and hydraulic disc brakes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The kit comprises a new ratchet, two 3D-printed jockey wheels and a new M2.5 screw to fit the ratchet inside the shifters.<\/p>\n

To get running with a 2\u00d712 setup, you will also require a 12-speed cassette, a Flattop chain and new chainrings.<\/p>\n

While all of that will add up to a fair premium, it\u2019s still likely to be considerably cheaper than a 12-speed SRAM Rival eTap AXS groupset<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ratio Technology does caution that the system is unlikely to work with 12-speed cassettes from other brands, including Campagnolo and Shimano. A full compatibility chart<\/a> is available on the brand\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

The conversion kit is made up of surprisingly few parts.<\/span><\/figcaption> Ratio Technology<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

SRAM\u2019s previous-generation mechanical road groupsets are among the lightest ever produced. This new kit allows weight-conscious riders who are wedded to the SRAM ecosystem to upgrade older groupsets while, potentially, offering a lower overall system weight compared to an equivalent eTap AXS groupset.<\/p>\n

For example, according to Ratio Technology\u2019s own calculations, a converted rim brake Force 22 groupset would work out roughly 222g lighter than a Force eTap AXS equivalent.<\/p>\n

Ratio Technology also offers kits to convert 11-speed shifters to work with 12-speed mechanical Eagle derailleurs and cassettes, potentially offering riders a so-called mullet setup for a far lower premium than an equivalent eTap AXS setup. A kit for 1\u00d712 road cassettes is also available.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n
