FAQs
What is the main advantage of the SRAM Rival AXS E1 Groupset?
The main advantage is providing electronic shifting, integrated power measurement, and robust braking at a more accessible price point compared to higher-end groupsets.
Do I need a special tool to install the crankset?
Yes, the Rival E1 DUB crankset requires a compatible DUB bottom bracket and the appropriate tools for installation and removal.
How do I charge the SRAM AXS batteries?
Use the dedicated SRAM AXS battery charger and cord provided with the groupset. Snap the charger onto the battery until it clicks and plug it into a power source.
What is the gear range of the included cassette?
The included XG-1250 cassette has a range of 10-36T, offering a wide spread of gears suitable for climbing and flat terrain.
Can I customize the shifting buttons?
Yes, you can customize shifting logic and button assignments using the SRAM AXS mobile app.
Is this groupset suitable for gravel riding?
Yes, with its wide gear range (10-36T cassette) and durable components, the Rival AXS E1 groupset can be a great option for gravel riding, though compatibility with specific gravel frames should be confirmed.
What components are included in the groupset?
The groupset typically includes shifters/brake levers, rear and front derailleurs, crankset, chain, cassette, rotors, AXS batteries, and a battery charger.
Troubleshooting
Shifting is inaccurate or hesitant
Ensure AXS batteries are fully charged. Re-pair derailleurs with shifters. Check derailleur hanger alignment. Perform micro-adjustments using the AXS app or shifter buttons.
Electronic components not responding
Verify that the AXS batteries are correctly installed and charged. Ensure shifters and derailleurs are properly paired. Check for any firmware updates via the AXS app.
Power meter readings seem incorrect
Ensure the crankset is properly installed and tightened. Check for firmware updates for the power meter via the AXS app. Perform a zero-offset (calibration) if available in the app.
Brakes are noisy or lack power
Clean rotors with isopropyl alcohol. Inspect brake pads for wear and contamination. Check brake fluid level and consider a bleed if necessary.
Chain drops unexpectedly
Check rear derailleur limit screws and B-tension adjustment. Ensure the chain is the correct length and properly lubricated. Verify cassette and chainring wear.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Offers electronic shifting and power measurement at a more accessible price point.
- Lightweight design improves overall bike performance.
- Wide gear range (10-36T cassette) suits diverse riding conditions.
- Ergonomic brake hoods enhance rider comfort and control.
- AXS system provides connectivity for customization and updates.
Cons
- Requires proprietary SRAM AXS batteries and charger.
- Electronic system may require more technical knowledge for initial setup and maintenance compared to mechanical systems.
- Brake rotors are included, but hydraulic brake lines and calipers are separate purchases (implied by shifter/brake lever description).
- Integration with non-SRAM electronic components may be limited.
- The specific crankset (48-35T) might not be ideal for riders preferring very large chainrings.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Installation: Professional installation is recommended, especially for derailleurs, brakes, and crankset. Ensure all components are torqued to manufacturer specifications.
- AXS Pairing: Pair derailleurs with shifters using the AXS button on each component. Follow the on-screen prompts or app guidance.
- Battery Charging: Fully charge the AXS batteries using the provided charger before initial use.
- Brake Setup: Bleed hydraulic brakes if necessary and adjust rotor alignment.
Compatibility:
- Frame: Compatible with most modern road, gravel, and cyclocross frames designed for electronic shifting and disc brakes.
- Bottom Bracket: Requires a compatible DUB bottom bracket for the crankset.
- Wheels: Requires wheels with a compatible freehub body for the XG-1250 cassette.
- AXS Ecosystem: Works seamlessly with other SRAM AXS components and the SRAM AXS mobile app.
Care:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the chain, cassette, and derailleurs. Use a mild degreaser and rinse with water. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on bearings and electronic components.
- Battery Maintenance: Keep AXS batteries charged. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
- Shifting Adjustment: Perform micro-adjustments to derailleur indexing via the AXS app or shifters as needed, especially after component changes or significant mileage.
- Brake Care: Inspect brake pads and rotors regularly. Clean rotors with isopropyl alcohol.
