It was back in March of this year when SRAM first introduced their revolutionary T-Type Transmission drivetrain for the brand's top tier XX, X0, and XX SL levels, which likely sounded the death knell for the derailleur hanger in the process. Today the GX incarnation of T-Type Eagle Transmission joins the party, bringing the hanger-free, precision shifting, wireless mech tech to the brand's mid-tier level. Released in tandem are the Bronze tier brakes, which come in both Level and Code versions designed to compliment GX Transmission.
In case you missed the noise when the first T-Type Transmission systems were released, the drivetrain technology completely does away with the derailleur hanger, so the rear mech now bolts directly to compatible UDH (SRAM's universal hanger standard) equipped frames with a system the brand calls 'Full Mount'. By attaching directly to dropout and axle rather than a hanger, SRAM removed the need for adjustment screws to get the mech perfectly aligned. And of course, being electronically controlled by a Bluetooth shifter (which SRAM now calls a AXS Pod), there's zero indexing faff either.
