What other drivetrains work well on the Refugio Select?
- Any SRAM AXS (wireless) drivetrain works great. The frame is UDH compatible, so you are able to run any Transmission/Full Mount rear derailleur. If using a 1x drivetrain be sure to spec a WIDE version of the crankset you intend to use. If you opt for a 2x drivetrain you need a WIDE crankset and the largest chainring combination should not exceed 43/30t (47.5mm chainline minimum).
- Any Shimano Di2 (electronic) 12spd or mechanical 1x drivetrain will fit up nicely. The drive side dropout breather hole is large enough for the rear E-Tube wire to pass through. Make sure the crankset you spec has a minimum chainline of 47.5mm. The frame is not currently compatible with 2x Di2 12spd drivetrains.
Mechanical Drivetrains that we know work well:
- Any Mechanical 1x drivetrain will work. Be aware that the minimum chainline can be no less than 47.5mm with a max 42t chainring.
- Mechanical 2x drivetrains need to have a front derailleur that has a built-in cable stop. Newer Shimano front derailleurs (FD-R7000/R8000/R9100 or newer) will work. Microshift Sword front derailleurs are also compatible. We have not verified all drivetrain and tire combinations to check front derailleur clearance. Some set-ups might not have enough clearance between the cage and tire. Max chainring combination is 43/30t with a 47.5mm chainline.
I am thinking of running mechanical disc brakes, do they all work?
- The Refugio Select is optimized for flat mount hydraulic brakes (See Frameset Technical Specifications). While there are many cable actuated flat mount disc brakes that will work well (TRP Spyre, Growtac Equal), there are some that do not work well due to how the cables need to route (Paul Klampers).
Can you tell me more about the differences of the two colorways?
- Both colors are a powder coat. We chose to powder coat these frames due to its durability. The forks are full carbon and are painted to match the powder coat color on the frame.
TRAILHEAD - The Trailhead colorway has a semi-gloss finish to it. Smooth to the touch and it shines in the sun.
LAKE - Lake comes with a Satin finish and is slightly textured. It has a certain depth to it just as you would expect from a clear blue lake.
Can you help me understand chainline for the Refugio Select?
The minimum chainline to ensure proper fitment of a 1x chainring is 47.5mm. That means that the center of the chainring teeth sit 47.5mm outboard from the centerline of the frame. The max chainring that will fit with a 47.5mm chainline is a 42t. Other set-ups might work, but we cannot ensure fitment if your set-up is anything other than the stated 47.5mm 1x chainline.
To check your 1x chainline you can measure the distance from your chainring teeth to the closest point on the seat tube. Take that measurement and add 14.5mm (29mm thickness of the Carrizo seat tube divided in half).
The minimum chainline to ensure proper fitment of a 2x set-up is 47.5mm. The chainline on a 2x chainring set-up is measured from the center of the distance between the two chainrings. The max chainring combination that will fit with a 47.5mm chainline is a 43/30t. Other set-ups might work, but we cannot ensure fitment if your set-up is anything other than the stated 47.5mm 2x chainline or if you run larger than 43/30t chainrings.
To check your 2x chainline you can measure the distance from your outer chainring teeth to the closest point on the seat tube. Repeat that for the inner chainring. Subtract the inner ring distance from the outer ring distance and divide that number by half. Add that value to the inner ring distance then add 14.5mm (29mm thickness of the Carrizo seat tube divided in half).

The Refugio Select comes standard with the most desirable and reliable SRAM Transmission 1x drivetrain. Focus on the adventure ahead, not your drivetrain.
We used modern industry standards on the Select Series to ensure you won't have any surprises when it comes time for maintenance. Nothing proprietary to hold you back.
Designed in-house from the ground up. We wanted to make a UDH dropout that was uniquely Stinner. Strong, precise, and featuring direct 160mm flat mount brake mounting.
The Refugio Select frame features a complete Columbus steel tube set. Experience why everyone agrees that steel is real.
