Have you ever ever checked out your SRAM 11spd 1X shifter and thought, “I want somebody would do one thing with this house.” Do you could have an awkwardly positioned drop bar dropper lever and despise the ergonomics? Nicely, OneUp has an answer for you. Introducing the OneUp Drop Bar Paddle Distant.
OneUp Drop Bar Paddle Distant – What’s it?
Now, 1X SRAM riders can use the open house within the left shifter with OneUp’s super-sleek dropper distant setup. The brand new OneUp Elements Drop Bar Distant supplies a sublime resolution for operating a dropper put up utilizing 11-speed SRAM 1X (cable) levers. The design is seamless in aesthetics, and it appears like a manufacturing facility lever, with solely the OneUp brand laser etched on the facet freely giving the key.
OneUp says, “The design combines top-tier ergonomics, a light-weight lever really feel, and seamless integration, setting a brand new normal for mechanical drop-bar remotes.”
SRAM 11spd Solely
Sadly, for those who’re a Shimano rider or have the brand new SRAM APEX 12-spd, you may’t use this improve—but (we’re hoping). The design is just for SRAM 11spd hydraulic groupsets with cable-actuated shifters.
The SRAM 11spd-only compatibility places the OneUp drop bar paddle distant in a distinct segment class. However there are such a lot of of these levers floating round that I think about they received’t have any issues filling the orders.
What about mechanical APEX 12 spd? We now have a evaluation bike with the brand new SRAM APEX 12-speed, and the interior becoming for the shifting mechanism is barely completely different. Hopefully, we’ll see an choice for different mechanical shifting our bodies sooner or later.
Dropper Compatibility
The distant is engineered for excellent compatibility with the OneUp V3 Dropper Put up. For these trying to make use of different posts (as there are lots of on the market), we’re guessing you have to be OK. Nevertheless, Oneup has this disclaimer on the Drop Bar Paddle Distant touchdown web page. “This product also needs to work with most manufacturers’ dropper posts, however we can’t assure fitment and efficiency – besides the OneUp V3/V2 Dropper Put up. In case you purchase this paddle to actuate one other model’s dropper, you accomplish that at your personal threat.”
Can I Set up It Myself?
From what we’ve seen within the set up video, the OneUp Drop Bar Paddle Distant isn’t too exhausting to put in, and also you don’t want a lot to facilitate a profitable set up. In case you’re curious, take a look at the OneUp video beneath.
How about service? The design facilitates simple removing of the dropper put up for service. The cable clamp is positioned within the distant, and the cable finish is inside the dropper put up, much like different OneUp lever designs.
OneUp added an built-in cable tensioner. This built-in design eliminates the necessity for an in-line barrel adjuster and helps totally inner cable routing.
