Thanks for the replies so far!
Red eTap is the 1st generation and is 11 speed.
Axis eTap cones in Red and Force versions, is the 2nd generation and is 12 speed.
You can not interchange parts between 1st and 2nd generation.
I had Red 22 mechanical originally and upgraded to a Red eTap mini-group with was both derailleurs and shifter only. I kept my original mechanical crank, chainrings and cassette. My brakes are Bontrager dual pivot mechanical.
