The UCI is implementing new equipment rules that could have significant effects on SRAM. A new gearing limitation—capping the maximum gear ratio at 54×11—will impact SRAM’s unique 10-tooth road cog, potentially making it obsolete. This rule, which may begin as early as August, predominantly affects SRAM-sponsored riders while leaving competitors Shimano and Campagnolo unaffected. DAClearing the way for compliance, SRAM may need to adjust by locking out the 10T cog or shifting to higher cassettes and smaller chainrings for compliance, thus altering their top-end racing setups.
It's packing significant implications for both SRAM and its sponsored teams.
To comply, its mechanics will have to physically lock out the 10T cog, or SRAM could pivot to making 11T cassettes or a 49T chainring.
