Love this content. No one else on KZbin (or anywhere else I can find) is going this in-depth to answer the questions many of us have. I’d like to see you do a video with the road and mountain flat-top chains. I’ve seen several people claim they couldn’t find a dimensional difference in real life. Thanks!

Чёрт возьми! Это лучший канал на YT, который я видел. Это первый человек, который так подробно и информативно рассказывает о новых компонентах Sram. Особенно, про новинки, информации о которых нет в интернете. У ведущего прекрасно поставлена речь, поэтому встроенный в YT переводчик отлично понимает и переводит на русский. Мы, велосипедисты в России с интересом смотрим ваш канал, и подписаны на него. Делимся впечатлениями, обсуждаем. Информация очень интересная и полезная. Спасибо вам за ваш труд! С нетерпением ждём новых роликов👋🏻🔥🙂

[@tinoschneider6350]

Great comparison! One small correction regarding to the available spindle lengths: There is an XX SL non wide crankset. To achieve the 55 mm chainline it utilizes a 0 mm offset chainring.

i have the xx version and when i wanted to mount the cranks i was scared that it did not wanted to fit. Very nice to see that that is possible. Now i just need to find the spacers that go between the frame and my bb. Crazy btw how much better the xx groupset is compared to my 'old' x01 eagle groupset. I especially like how stiff the clutch is on the xx one and how easy it is to service without having to buy a new shift cable and stuff, crazy good transmission

What dub spindle width do you have? Is it the same as the new width of the t type stuff

[@camilotrivino1459]

I have the new SRAM XX T type mount in my old GX 12 Speed, with Shimano chain, not problem at all, I believe since there it’s no difference, the chain haven’t felt once. Work perfectly ❤. I change it for my old GX crank only for the weight loss.

[@kristianvrum8979]

A quick note on chainlines and the need to go to 56.5-57 mm to accomodate wide tires: I have an old frame which was designed at a time when we only had 9 speed drivetrains with sub-50 mm chainline, but it still can take a 3.0 inch tyre. And if you do the math, a 49 mm chainline results in 8.4 mm clearance between a 12 speed chain and a 3.0 inch tyre (a little less when using lower gears).

[@stefanheidrich7340]

Many thanks for the information regarding chainline etc. Keep up your good work 👍 I don't run any SRAM cranks on my Eagle drivetrain, 'cause there's no offer for 172.5 mm cranks (as I use for Road and Gravel). So I went to the third party manufacturer Leonardi Racing who supports the DUB standard and both interfaces for the chainring (3-bolt and 8-bolt)! I don't get it, why SRAM is optimizing their drivetrains without any consideration of the crank lengths as that is usual by all parties in the Road sector. There's a need for 2.5mm steps, when efficiency through power transfer is proclaimed as one big thing. Several lengths in one crank could be achieved by inserts, similar to Look Three Lobe.

[@iffy_too4289]

nice vid. I'm not a sram user but it's great to see the comparison anyway.

Good detailed video. BTW bash guards are a good way to uglify your cranks / bike. The new style isn't any prettier so Its good to see they made them easy to remove. You may not fit a guide with them in place either so you might wana consider a tensioner (OR some kneepads and a jockstrap so your ready for the chain falls).

You should be fine...let us know how you like it! As for your old chainring, there are new 3rd party ones that might work better/ give you the 55mm chainline but I would try your old one first.

Can I install the XO crank (wide) on my mtb (with a normal dub bottom bracket) will this mess with my chainline or not?

Good information, thanks. Are you able to confirm if a T-type left crank is compatible with the previous right side DUB? I'd like to add the new left side power meter to my existing DUB Wide crankset.

[@LoveMTB]

Hey there I can confirm that T-type left crank is will FIT the previous right side DUB and you can tighten the bolt. Can't speak about being a perfect fit or exactly the same but there is a high chance that they are.

I wonder if the new T type chain will provide any improvement in uphill/climb shifting with the Sram Eagle AXS cassettes? Have you tried? Thank you for the video!

I have last year's Scott spark rc with an "old" XO AXS transmission. Now I would like a power meter for my bike, so it seems that buying new XO cranks with a power meter will be almost the cheapest option.

I now have new cranks with a wattmeter on the bike. It went in place and works well. The new cranks didn't come with pedal end protectors, and I can't find them in any store. However, those cranks are aluminum, so they are not that important.

So we can go back to get 52mm chain line witch t-type crank? I really like X0 crank and wondering if i can put it to my eagle drivetrain.

Do you think sram will provide T-Type Chainring for x01/xx1 cranksets ( With 3 bolts ) ? ( I allready have a X01 cranksets in 55m with my sparc rc, and even if you said it compatible with old chainring, it's probably better to use T-type chainring with t-type chain ? )

@@ChrisCorless The new cranks are 3mm longer on each side. It comes with a 3mm offset chainring. That combo is a 55mm chainline. So to get a 52mm chainline with these new cranks, I just need to bring the chainring inboard by another 3mm, so that’s what a 6mm offset chainring will accomplish.

[@trailfork7815]

God if only shimano and sram could agree on standards, like with chainring mounts, would make consumers lives a lot better

[@LoveMTB]

Afraid their goal is the exact opposite lock you into their system for the life of the bike!?

[@puntoycoma47]

The main goal of SRAM as a company is to destroy everything they touch. Everything since SRAM coming of age has been more expensive, more complex, heavier, uglier and prone to planned obsolescence

[@SH-ig6rd]

So, can I just get the fancy crank arms to make my SX dub look fancy?

[@esshoul]

you need 8-bolt chaingring tho

[@LoveMTB]

Kidding right??🤓

[@sirtobey1337]

Do the new cranks work with an old Gx Eagle drivetrain?

[@LoveMTB]

Yes but be aware of the 55mm chainline like I mentioned in the video

[@matthoyle2344]

Is the 32T chainring that comes with the new cranks a 3mm offset? Thinking of ordering but want 34T chainring to maintain the 55mm chain line and not sure what to order. Thanks

[@ToddNZMTB]

Apple™ Transmission® 😂 the only thing I like about SRAM is their cassette is 1 piece. Trying to figure out how those bash guards actually work?! Do they spin around or stay in place. chain waxing 👍🏻

[@LoveMTB]

Actually wait for my vid on the cassettes…NO more one piece🤓 they spin with the chainring

[@ToddNZMTB]

Oh no! The comedy drama continues ha ha will tune in next week 🎉

[@FullSquishSuspension]

Had the same thoughts about the bash guards, I think they’re hoping the pedal/crank arm would hit first in the open spots?

[@basengelblik5199]

It will be a Garbaruk crankset for sure

[@LoveMTB]

Do they have that already??

[@86309]

everyone wants to know if the t type chain will work on the old Eagle XG1299 cassette.

[@LoveMTB]

It could but it might ruin the shift ramps. Watch my vid on the T-type chains to see the difference

[@bryanelenbaas887]

What’s the difference between XX and XX SL?

[@LoveMTB]

A few grams as usual

[@krempixxx]

i am buying now bike with old sram but i need to change crankset as it is 175 and i need 170 ... is there chance i can buy new T type crankset with powermeter and integrate it to older sram drivetrain ? maybe with new chainring as you mentioned by third party ? the thing is i dont want to use new T type chain because i have multiple 12 speed sram/shimano systems on other bikes and i want to have options to reuse same chains by KMC or YBN and not sram :D

[@LoveMTB]

You definitely have that option, get the power meter in the cranks axle (XX, X0) then use the 3rd party chainrings with 6mm offset to push your chainline back to 52mm. Problem solved!

[@krempixxx]

@@LoveMTB do you know some brands making those chainrings already for this new cranks ? thanks for reply love your videos

[@LoveMTB]

@@krempixxx believe Wolf Tooth has them. And maybe Garbaruk. And thanks 🙏

[@josereneducharme142]

You definitely are the enCYCLOpedia.

[@flowbike4487]

Disagree i use road flattop chain with my eagle cassette and it's works better than dedicated eagle chain. Is more quiet and smooth shifting

[@LoveMTB]

Good to know thanks for sharing!

[@bonham4994sts9]

How long do you think before a 3rd party make an oval chainring for the T-type?

[@LoveMTB]

Hope soon but have no idea

[@WordupG]

Wolf tooth claim to be flat-top t-type compatible. Also Garbaruk & Alugear.

[@LoveMTB]

[@MikeesTexas]

Anyone else wanting a cable actuated “transmission” ?

[@LoveMTB]

You know it’s coming right? 😇

[@MikeesTexas]

@@LoveMTB I wish, I’d even pay the same price as the current transmission offerings/ imaging being able to grab/dump a bunch of gears regardless of using the shift ramp timing/// im all about that burly rear mech and the overall quietness of the transmission/ hell if sram doesn’t do it i’m positive someone will make one!!!!!

[@thebrowns5337]

I wish manufacturers would stop messing with chainline

[@LoveMTB]

Thay've been doing it for a while, it is the bike manufacturers that want the 55mm not the drivetrain guys.

[@gebhardt2]

They keep moving it out so you can run fatter tires on a shorter chainstay.

[@hartshorn95]

My old x01 carbon crank is lighter and cost a lot of money so i will continue using it

[@LoveMTB]

You can definitely do that

[@gebhardt2]

Have you done it? How well does it work?

[@LoveMTB]

Noty yet, son did not want to replace his XTR before the last couple races of the year. Soon though.@@gebhardt2

[@skinny8019]

Don’t want sound negative. But I think this release is useless. It’s like the apple iPhone running out of features. The drivetrains were mature before this new set. I believe the previous is lighter all around. So what’s the gain? Am I missing something? (Great video as always)

[@RomanE_____]

The main gain is more robust derailleur with new mounting type, better shifting under load and potentially stronger chain. But there is also many downsides, for sure.

[@OscarHernandez-xx2je]

In 10 years transmission will will be seen as the first mtb drivetrain. It’s that good.

[@the.communist]

@@OscarHernandez-xx2je 😒

[@LoveMTB]

Out of 100 drivetrains with shifting problems 50 were caused by bent derailleur hangers. Another 20-30 by bad adjustments: limit screws, b-gap. This takes care of all that!

[@skinny8019]

@@OscarHernandez-xx2je hehe

[@Montblanc1986]

They are making them cheaper than before imo

[@davidmnorman4948]

So the XO cranks are 109 grams heavier than XX. To me, the XO cranks look a lot better and $450 dollars less price to boot! I would love to save the 109 grams, but the XO look too damn good! I’m having the XO Transmission installed (2021 Stumpjumper Evo Carbon) at my LBS next Tuesday!

[@LoveMTB]

Definitely let us know how you like it!!

[@the.communist]

More n more new standards to keep grabbing your money.

[@LoveMTB]

Looks like it. Think about it this way: if it’s all proprietary you end up with a system for life, too expensive to rip and replace. Hope it is not what they’re going for…

[@james-hb5tu]

bummer that the xo is no longer carbon

[@LoveMTB]

Indeed but they have 2 levels above it now. Whatever that means…

[@TheSWIMBEAST1]

@@LoveMTB I've read somewhere that the new XX is actually similar to the 'old' X01, the XXsl is the old XX1. The new XO is more like the old GX.

re-post it and see if it happens again. it may have been a mistake.

The sram crank is not very strong. I just hit a rock and it bent. I didn't even fail. So I still won't use the new one.

[@slim_7599]

Both are shit with 8 bolts. Another standart for nothing. Use old descendant carbon cranks, with gxp bottom bracket and happy with it. Will change it for something else then it's die, not the new sram
