Seriously props to you all for this new groupset. I'm thoroughly impressed with every bit of it. I'm planning on a build in the future and seriously, this hits every mark I want and need!
This pretty much nails all the essentials the normal rider would want for a budget build, and it looks sharp as hell. Really starting to set the standard for mechanical adventure and gravel groupsets! Well done, guys!
If I could make one suggestion as a consumer, it would be to consider later down the line releasing some sort of hydraulic shifter in the same style as this. While I agree that mechanical braking is generally fine for riding on rough paths and gravel, the security and peace of mind of hydraulics can't be beaten. The instant slowing of the bike in wet and muddy conditions off-road is day and night between the two systems and that's when it really counts. Cable actuated hydraulics are what I run using Advent X shifters on my gravel bike build (TRP Hy-Rds) and they are a powerful improvement (I reckon 90% of the performance of full hydraulics) but the callipers cost a fortune!
If you could produce a quality hydro lever that undercut your overpriced competitors I think you would reach a much larger audience of riders who wouldn't touch off-road conditions without a hydraulic brake groupset. Just a suggestion from the amount of, 'Off road and you don't have hydraulic levers?' comments I get from other riders.
Best of luck with the new groupset. Can't wait to grab mine!
Ooops, sorry, I just have notice this channel is microShift specific.
Hello! I have an old Hollowtech 3 piece crank chainring (22-32-42), please could you tell me if it is possible if I by the outer (38) and inner (28) chainrings turn it into 2 piece crank (28-38)? Thank you
When is the release in Europe for the sword groupset
Should be available this fall!
which 1x chainring are compatible with this crankset?
Sorry for the late reply! It has a GRX bolt pattern.
I guess 73mm bbs have other options, but would be great if these were also available.
Is this compatible with Shimano hollow tech 2 standards?
Yes! 24mm spindle so definitely compatible with a Hollowtech II bottom bracket.
The question is where to buy replacement chainrings ... asked google and it hasnt help
Apologies for the late reply. We're working on getting replacement parts to our distributors but it has been slow going. The crank is compatible with 10 speed GRX chainrings, so you can always replace with those.
@@microSHIFTTECH so would the wolftooth grx replacement chainrings work?
