Sram not making 11-speed eTap FD's? WTF?
I just found out that Sram is no longer going to make an 11-speed eTap FD.
This is a complete slap in the face to current 11-speed eTap owners, especially since Sram released the "A2" RD, which looks like an AXS RD, but is 11-speed compatible. Why not a FD?
I'm in a lousy situation, my bike & some parts were damaged in a crash. I have been able to acquire a new right shifter & A2 RD. I need a FD, but they're nowhere to be found.
Someone paid $540 for a used on on eBay recently.
What's worse, is that I've been slowly acquiring parts for a disc brake bike with eTap22. All I need is a FD, and again, Sram isn't making them.
Not good.
I've been a Sram loyalist since 2010, and I've got plenty of spare 11-sped cassettes, chains, chain rings etc., along with several sets of wheels in 11-speed.
I'm not paying $1,000's to ditch those & swap (not upgrade) to AXS 12-speed. I'll go to Shimano before I do that.
What am I supposed to do?
