I also love how the torque specs are etched onto the parts now so you don’t need to look it up on the internet.
I am also using this sx eagle crank set! It is amazing! I love it for the money, chain ring flexibility and the dub tech! The adjustment system is so easy and reliable I think
La Multi Ani, multa sanatate tie si la Familie. Un an nou bun, cu video-uri in stilul tau !
I've this crank factory installed on my Norco Sight, I think it works well. Nothing special, but honest work. Like well said in this video, good thing is that you can use many different chainrings you can easily find on the market. Super well explicated video, as always!!!
Nice, I am puting the new GX on my build, I found it quite simple to install.
Thanks! Used a jack stand for the non drive side pedal and worked like a charm
Thanks for the great vid.
One of the best on the net.
You do a great job.
Merry christmas, happy new year.
Thank you for such good content.
My Commencal came with a GX Crank and a NX Derailleur. I immediately switched out Derailleur to GX and all is good (NX Cassette works just fine).
However, it terrifies me (watching you), so if I ever want to switch out the chainring!!! I will probably ship it to Commencal's USA shop in Colorado when it's due for a rebuild!
Thank you for this excellent clear tutorial. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I installed a complete sx groupset on my 2019 marlin 5 and I love it. There's no comparison to the stock 3by tourney system. It's a whole new bike with that 1x12. I paid either $235. Delivered to my door in 3 weeks after order from aliexpress. Serial number intact, mint brand new set. 175mm crank arms, dub bb, 32t chainring, chain, cassette, derailleur, and shifter. You can't beat that.
@@LoveMTB that's $235 Canadian. I forgot to mention that part. My marlin 5 is spec'd as good as the 2019 Roscoe.
Yes! That made the trick. Thanks a lot for sharing this way of pushing the other crank over an elevated surface to remove the dub cranks. That is the only way I found to untighten my stubborn SRAM x1 cranks. Thank you!
I’d recommend anti seize compound for the threaded BB. As an average grease give a go to the Motorex 2000, much better all-around grease than the PPL-1. Thanks for the video and happy new year!
Thanks for the plain and clear instructions and video.
Great content as usual. Lots of information and easy to understand for beginners like me.
@@LoveMTB i don't want to miss any of your videos.
Thanks for showing the bottom bracket. When I pulled mine out the blue o-ring had slipped out and I wasn't 100% sure where it went.
Also great video. Very detailed.
Thanks for showing, now need to upgrade my chainring to oval. Have great mtnbiking
I like how the crank bolt also works as self-extractor as you unscrew it. No need for extra tools like shimano to unmount the crank from the axle
In Europe, the NX DUB crank is $10 more than SX DUB, both shipped w. same 32T steel chainring. NX is 75 g lighter than SX so I would go NX over SX every time! I'm using a 62 g Eagle XX1 SL 34T ring on my 555 g NX DUB 175 mm cranks, plus 5 g for the thee bolts = 622 g total.
SLX M7100 cranks are yet another 35 g lighter than NX, at the same price. Shimano HT2 bb is $10 less than DUB bb, same weight. Making SLX crank + bb same price as SX but 110 g ligher. For my Shimano cranks (M8000, M7100, R8000, GRX etc.) I use Garbaruk chainrings.
@@LoveMTB As long as the heft isn't an issue, they're ok. Personally, I would sell away the SX crank + heavy 32T steel chainring before I use it, since I mind the heft and use 34T chainings on my mtb's.
I had a Giant that had SX stock, i upgraded to GX rear derailleur and holy crap what a difference.
Thank you, this was very useful!
Sram do a great job of providing good manuals for service. But it is great when you can see the steps in a video. Thank you.
Such a great video!!
I upgraded to these when my previous bottom bracket wore out and really like them. Plenty stiff for laying down some torque. Went with 165 and that’s the right length for my set-up. Been thinking about trying an oval 🤔
Thank you it was very helpful.
Muy buen análisis. Gracias por el aporte.
This will probably be my next crankset due to the versatility. I want to try some 165mm arms and the Shimano cranks are more expensive.
I had mine so tight I had to use an impact. Installed it without cranking it down as tight. Zero problems, comes off easily
I have tighten mine with regular wrench (about 7 inches in length) as tight as I could and no issues after several months of riding. You don’t need torque wrench.
@@Iggy52 same, I have damaged more things with a torque wrench on a bike then I have with just trusting my own judgment
It works fine
Thank you, this was helpful.
You're welcome!

日本にはMTB系の情報が少なくて助かりました
お知らせいただきありがとうございます。喜んでお役に立ちます。当時のマウンテン バイクに関する情報が不足していたことへの不満から、チャンネルを始めたのはそのためです。 :)
I also removed a SRAM chainset in the same way using the ParkTool HT-8 and a plastic pipe for added leverage. The chainset was factory installed on a SCOTT spark. Worth noting that it took a brutal amount of force (my wife had to hold down the front end of the bike) and the bolt came loose iwth a LOUD BANG initially convincing me it broke.
Just like mine…
Nice!!!
nice thanks
SX also comes with a Truvativ Stylo 6K DUB crank which is lighter than the GX crank.
Thanks for the video. I’m using SX groupset as well on my Specialized Chisel. But I’m planning to upgrade my crankset to GX. But after watching your video, I have 2nd thought. Should I just use my SX crank and only upgrade to DUB BSA? Thanks
I've watched so many LoveMTB videos just to find fixes for something I broke or something I needed to know. Never liked or subscribed because I'm a terrible person. Fixed that today. I LOVE LoveMTB from here on out!
@@LoveMTB SRAM doesn't at all mention the tiny o-ring in their install but you do. I swear that's the third time I watched your video and after realizing the "official" video gave me bad advice or was incomplete.
i was wondering if SX and NX came in a two piece crank. I agree with the three piece cranks not being worth it. I had a set of Truvativ 6K 3 piece cranks on a bike for a bit. The quality was ok, but it was really heavy.
My xx1 cranks came over tightened to 140nm or more. Kept cranking the wrench in reverse with I couldn't get it off
Can I ask what you have against the Power Spline BB? I'm moving to that from a square taper on a 90's mountain bike 1x conversion.
Hey great content
I have a question can a remove the adjustment system cuz I broke it thank
Thanks for the video, I just wanted to mention, if it has not already been addressed, is that I've read of quite a few experiences from people who have made the mistake of over tightening the 2mm allen retention screw on the pre-loaded adjuster can very easily strip it, and cause damage to the bearings.
Why not. The only reason I have a bit more expensive cranks is because I’m 90kg (200lbs) and my peak power is above 1000 W. For that reason I felt flex in NX crankset. But for lighter les powerful riders - why not. I still use NX shifter and rear mech, and I’m satisfied.😊😊😊
For a Trek Marlin would I use the boost or non-boost version?
Happy new year to you as well! That preload adjuster feels so cheap. Should probably be metal.
Cane Creek DUB bottom bracket comes with a metal one that they also sell separately, but I read somewhere that the plastic is actually preferable because it is super important to not over-tighten it. Suprised the person who created the video didn't include more warnings about it? The SRAM DUB installation videos and the instructions that come with the bottom brackets include a lot of warnings about not over-tightening the ring which from my understanding really just a moveable spacer to keep the bearings in the proper place...
Do i have to remove the cover with 10mm hex that covers the 8mm bolt? Or i just have to unscrew it whit the cover cap on?
i also am going to install the sx crankset, what do they refer to as a boost? my bike shop gave me a 175mm boost im sure they know what they are doing and gave me the correct stuff. they also had my bike and looked at it also to verify?
Hi good day just want to ask regarding the cassette issue because i bought speed one soldier 12S 32 holes and i have sram nx PG1230 cassette i just wonder if it will fit on my huns? Thank tou and more power
Wonder if this setup will work on a trek marlin 6 with 2x8 ?
Looks like it's a pretty good build quality, and like it or not the DUB 29.99 annoying measure is versatile enough because it supports some really good carbon cranks along with some cheap and "good enough" aluminium cranks like this SX. I have been running an older x01 carbon crank on one of the bikes and I didn't bother switching the ring on it, and I can't feel any difference on the HG+ shifting between this and my other bikes with full Shimano 12sp builds. The only difference is that the Shimano quicklink wont work with a sram ring, so use a sram link for it, and it's fine. Just my 2c.
@@LoveMTB No, not at all. Maybe it's because the ring is a bit worn, or maybe some other magic because a friend of mine couldn't get this exact setup working properly. I didn't get the chance to have a proper look at his bike, so I can't say for sure if he messed something up himself.
My high end bike came with GX 175MM. I ride very rocky terrain and the pedal strikes are unbearable. I'm considering "downgrading" from GX to SX so I can try a 155MM crank.
What is your opinion; go with 165MM GX (better quality, lower weight, but a small improvement in pedal strikes) OR a 155MM SX (lower quality, vastly improved pedal strikes)
very great video! did you use the inner spacer- just looked like the outer 4.5. seems to me the inner spacers are used for fatter tired bikes?
are sram nx eagle fit on any bikes? cause i want to upgrade from my shimano acera to this groupset
How do you like the new SX rear derailleur now? It apparently is updated similarly to NX.
I'm purchasing the parts right now to switch over to a SRAM GX Eagle crankset from a Shimano Deore crankset. I wish SRAM used a 24mm spindle BB instead of 30mm, it would save me from having to buy a DUB BB.
I love direct mount way more than spider.
I have one question about the compatibility of these cranks:
Can you use a Shimano 12s chain on an eagle drivetrain?
I have read that it's not possible but that site also said that SRAM eagle Shifters don't work with Shimano 12s derailleurs, which you have proven wrong.
Great video, been looking at a on-one scandal, and it has the full saram sx on it🤔not sure about it, i do prefer deore?
those came on my new bike. up to now I find them good, but haven't jet dismounted them. I also like the steel chainring, since my last alu-chainring lasted only ~1000Km
I am also pleasantly surprised about the SX derailleur. shifting is good and since it is made out plastic it can be more durable than the GX since I would not expect it to permanently deform and cause bad shifting performance.
@@LoveMTB I used the SX derailleur for about 4000km before it bent. I went for a GX 2021 as replacement. For the price I think the SX was an "okay" product.
@@LoveMTB Currently it made 1,5 months with 315Km. Covered in mood at every round.
If it makes it to 4000Km I will definitely buy it again. 60€ for the SX 120€ for the GX
@@LoveMTB Hey I have to report that the clutch of my SX derailleur started to fail after 640Km. Today I disassembled the clutch and found that it is not the advertised "roller bearing clutch". It uses an spring as the blocking mechanism.
@@LoveMTB maybe there are different version out. however mine does not have the "roller bearing" one. Just to be shure I took an GX one apart, because from the outside it look absolutely the same
How do I find out whether I need a boost or regular DUB, does this have something to to with the boost axle or not?
I have Sx on my ebike with FSA crank arms. It's very ok to me but i need a recommendation for a good and no so expensive chain. For the moment i have 500 km and the chain is ok . It's not a problem for me if it will be a heavy chain, i need just to be very resistant. Maybe you can help from your experience.
Is there the SX without DUB BB?
I have the 2020 model SX and it is just a black bolt
I would love to get a Cane Creek eeWings crank, a Chris King ThreadFit 30 BB (with ceramic bearing), and a SRAM X-Sync 2 SL Direct Mount chainring.
LoveMTB, nice video! I have a question that is not about this video.
Can I use sram chain on an absolute black chainring that currently has shimano chain. I guess my question is, are chainrings different between sram and shimano? Both are 12 speed chains and the chainring is also from a 12 speed setup.
I bought a bike with shimano XTR derailleur, cassette, chain and raceface aeffect cranks with absolute black chainring. Well, I am switching it over to sram xo1 axs derailleur and cassette. I also have a new xx1 chain. I cant find any info about the chainrings though!!!
Thanks to anyone who can help with an answer
does it matter if you thread in non drive side before drive side or drive side 1st etc?? or non drive side 1st? does it matter?
Are all the cranks the same and it’s just the chainring that changes for boost and non boost?
Can it get in at 8 speeds back?
Que cadena son compatibles para ese volante ?
Do you get the 4.5mm spacer with the BB?
Aside from unifying BSA and pressfit do you find any improvement over GXP? For my newest bike I picked up a new old stock X01 carbon GXP crankset (circa 2013 with the removable 2x direct mt spider) and it's working great on a boost frame with an oval chainring.
Glad to hear other GXP users out there. I owned several DUB cranks, and replaced them with GXP. DUB just doesn't spin as freely, even with the tension collar not engaged. Plus I stripped out 2 of the collar set screws before discovering the Cane Creek collars. And then is the difficulty of loosening the DUB cranks, as shown in the video. GXP isn't perfect, but I'm sticking with it, as long as the BB bearings are still available.
I have SX but the shit ones, I'm thinking to upgrade to dub. What cranks would you recommend sticking on, GX?
You are talking about a Park Tool RT 1 but use a BBT 90.3 for the removal of the DUB bearings?!
Hello. I write from Brazil..congratulations for the channel.. sram manual asks you to use only a 4.5mm spacer on the crown side for 73mm centrals ok.. is only this 4.5mm enough to reach the 52mm chainline? bosst frame
Can you install one of these on any bike?
Happy new year all . Just unbelievable info in such a short video , I've finally changed to shimamo xt 12 from originally having sx . I've got the sx crankset wich I use with the shimano xt cassete - chain - derailleur , problem is now I have some grinding noise coming from the chain ring on the crankset even with your advice to put a sram power link on the chain instead of the shimano one . Is the shimano slx crankset that much better vs sram sx or should I go for the chain ring that supports shimano HP + on the sx crankset? Thanks again for the great videos and information. Wish you a wonderful new year and many more great videos .
@@LoveMTB do you have any recommendations ? As long as it's not an oval chaining. Thanks again for your reply. Cheers
I grew up like many finding bikes and rebuilding them, always loved doing this.
Back in 2009 I bought a Giant ATX hard tale frame on eBay thinking I would collect parts and build a bike. Fast forward 13 years and here lies the frame lol.
I have found bits of information here and there about the frame specs , measurements etc…
I was going to start with the bottom bracket/cranks but all I know is that it is a 68mm English thread BB .
How do I determine the spindle length?
Also I am assuming this is a non boost frame based on age alone… I was going to go with a relatively inexpensive SRAM NX drive train for a cost effective build. Any information would be helpful. Anyone know the best way to get going on this build as I would love to start doing this for a hobby. Just bought a nice park bike stand and am purchasing tools…..
Any help would be much appreciated!
My new bike came with a full SX Eagle group. I find the derailleur to be poor quality, but the rest, including the crankset, is very sturdy. I presume I will replace the derailleur and shifter with GX components in the future.
My SX derailleur broke within 2 months of getting my trail bike and I upgraded just the mech to GX (but will do shifter soon too) it's way sturdier made and had a lot more metal parts vs plastic composite, still coming from shimano all my life the performance to cost is way higher with sram.
The rest like you said is fine, although GX cranks do look better and are lighter.
@@LoveMTB That's what I did with mine. Like you said, the derailleur was first to go. I replaced it with an NX. Then I replaced the shifter to GX.
I agree. I have this component on my cheap hard and the shifting seems so super slow compared to my XO on my Yeti. So here's the question: To increase shifting speed and efficiency, do you replace the shifter or the derailer?
Agreed, I did just that. The gx shifter and derailleur are smoother and have quicker response.
@@LoveMTB love your channel. keep up the good work
Holy crap, that 8mm bolt is locked tight... can't get mine off
Nice Video!! One Question, is this SX SRAM 12 speed boost Crankset with 11 Speed boost compatible? I just bought this Crankset for my Sons bike (165mm) and i want install it with a Shimano deore 11 Speed system (11-51 cassette and shimano 11 Speed derailleur). We also have the sram chainring for shimano chains.
Great video as usual sir. Concise, thorough and useful information. I need to replace a Suntour Zeron that came on my Vitus Mythique boost 10sp. I've been shopping around exploring my options. I don't want to be cheap on my crank because I do ride at a high level but I am a frugal man by nature. Any advice? I would prefer a silver/chrome color to stick with the theme of my bike. I've been looking seriously at the Hope Evo? What do you think about the Evo? Btw... HAPPY NEW YEAR 😁
@@LoveMTB 🤨 so you don't like the Hope Evo? 😀 Every bike I've ever owned has had Shimano. The last 2 have had SLX trains. Believe it or not I prefer a 9 or 10 spd over 11&12. I tried to give them a chance but I ride hard and I'm a bit set in my ways and when I find something that suits me comfortably it's hard to knock me off of it. I ride alot of street and skate park bowl. SLX trains aren't stiff enough for what I do. I get alot of flex and audible feedback that gets in my head and throws me off of my game. I'm coming off an SLX train and really want to do something different for my next build. Plus Im trying to achieve a semi-retro look and my vision is definitely envisioned around a silver/chrome finish on my crank arms. SLX does not have that option. I do appreciate your response and suggestion. If you have any advice for me on this but prefer to do so on a different channel I would completely understand and appreciate any insight you could provide.. jimbobfrisbeefreak@gmail.com
All the best for you and yours in this new year. 🙋
@@LoveMTB hahaha. Your a smart man. Didn't want go insult you and I'm glad I haven't. I'll figure it out. I know what I want to do and I see now that I was fishing for affirmation to go ahead and do it. Thanks for making me take that step on own. 👍😬
See you in your next installment. Until then fair thee well friend 😁
Hi thanks so much for your amazing video content. What torque wrench do you recommend for the big torque tasks?
@@LoveMTB thanks…sorry I meant, could you recommend a heavy duty torque wrench to buy?
Were there any complaints about the creaking noise coming from the sx cranks? 5th day of using them and have to take them apart and maybe glue chainring to the bottombracker tooths, and tighten them T25 bolts more than specs say?
I have the SX cranks and after about 2 months of riding it has developed a creaking sound. This I only found out after overhauling the rear hub and fitting a new chain 😅
I have a specialized stump jumper alloy with the power spline sx bottom bracket. I bought the gx crankset…what bottom bracket would I need?
Most probably DUB! You see that written on the spindle don’t you?
Thanks for the video, very helpful but I have a couple of questions. What do you mean by boosted and how would I know. When I look up the specs of my bike it doesn’t mention that. I have a 2019 stumpjumper comp alloy with nx drivetrain.
Also apart from weight is there any other benefit to switch from steel to aluminium chainring?
Thanks again
Bike will require Bioost spa ing so 148mm axle in the back. And...no benefit ;)
Ok cool, I’ll have a look. Thanks for the reply
I hope its OK,a quick question ,from your experience with 1x cranks, what's the exposed spindle length on a 2 piece hollow setup you've dealt with,I'm having massive issues with a budget setup.thx
@@LoveMTB thx
Hello! I've bought an SX crank and it was very cheap so I had to get it, problem is it didn't come with a Dub bottom bracket. Noob question. Can I use another bottom bracket that aren't DUB ones?
@@LoveMTB Great! That was quick. Thanks for your insight brother. Might check out those videos as well.
I use shimano grup set!I think I change with SRAM 😇
Is this compatible on 10 speed?
can't believe they are still selling 3 piece cranks, for those ultra cost cutting bike builds i guess
Will this work on 10 speed?
Sorry to bother you
I have this set of cranks and wondering if they'll fit my Meta SX which is BB92
Crankset Race Face Aeffect SL
Chainring Sizes 30t
Crank Arm Length 170mm
Bottom Bracket Race Face Cinch
Bottom Bracket Type PF92
For 10 to 15 more dollars you can get a GX rear derailleur that's twice as stiff
Any thoughts on the powerspline version of the SX cranks? They are even heavier than the dub version
The Powerspline BB+cranks combo is almost 300g heavier than this. That’s a lot.
can be used for 11 speed?
I have a GX shifter, derailleur and chain with NX cassette ... would you recommend this crank set to complete my gearset? Or should I go for other eagle crankset?
Would it be fair to say there's little difference between SX and NX (both DUB) cranks? They weigh the same, both 6000 Alu...
That is correct
Damn I messed up my thread when installing new pedals!
Should I keep the sx or upgrade?
@@LoveMTB thanks. Just the crankset or go with the full groupset?
My crank doesn’t go off and i removed the whole bolt
Just got a Niner with SX group set but it has X1 crankset. No idea if X1 is better or not. Do you know anything about this X1 1000 crankset?
@@LoveMTB interesting. My X1 crank is definitely alloy with steel chainring. I see it listed in SX group set on SRAM website but can’t find any other info about it. I wish it was carbon lol. Thanks for the videos very helpful.
Is there any brand of chainring that will accommodate 26t and 28t on SX crankset? Thank you
28 tooth is available in 11 speed, not in the 12 speed Eagle version, as I recall.
i have a marin san quentin 3 and planning to install SRAM NX. which one should i get, the boost or non-boost? appreciate your response!
@@LoveMTB thank you so much! :):):)
