Simply the best! While I have have no intention of buying a Tranz drivetrain I enjoyed watching this as it was better than SRAM's official install video.... Quick question, when the little tab 'broke off' on the shifter pod button(s) what exactly happened there? Did it break trying to get the OE buttons off and if yes, are they trash now or is that supposed to happen?
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, if you don't just lift the button straight up without tilting the tabs will break. Plastic is poor or too tiny or I didn't know what I was doing...
@@LoveMTB Gotcha. I also love that you went with the 'older' Eagle DUB cranks with Garbaruk 3mm chainring and 52mm chainline to save some money and also prove that it can be done. That should help take a bit of the sting out of the price tag for people that are currently running an Eagle drivetrain. 👍👍
@@LoveMTB what I’m afraid of breaking is the shifter pod and clamp. It just hangs down waiting for something to hit it. Then you’re SOL and maybe miles from home if this breaks. They could have made that a lot stronger than that thin little plastic clamp
Love the video, better setup guide than actual SRAM. Though even as a super confident mechanic it just underlines how much functionally better my Shimano XT mechanical is Lighter, 1/10 of the cost, easier to repair/source parts, better shifter ergonomics and functionally no performance loss. No one won a MTB race because their drivetrain was electronic. That extra $1500 is better spent on a skills clinic or a riding holiday or brakes, suspension, fresh tyres
Thanks 🙏 glad to share my learning with you all! Funny you say that, my son moved from XTR to T-Type and first thing he said was - not as smooth as Shimano but works ok. Enthusiastic to have AXS? Not even one bit…
One thing I like about, peddle backwards and the chain does not fall off lol , I can’t use this because my middlechild is not UDH . It is interesting . Your vids very informative now I understand this sram stuff . 👍🏼
Thanks for your video. Without watching this I would have been lost. It’s totally different from any other drivetrain so I had to unlearn my mechanical shifting thinking
I upgraded my 2022 Spark from X01 AXS to the new X0 T-Type. I used the EMTB kit, as I already had the XX1 8-bolt cranks and Quarc power meter with 104BCD. Unfortunately the chain ring required a little dremeling to fit onto the power meter, but I was able to make it fit. I was interested to discover that the additional (convex) buttons were not provided in the kit; I'm guessing they have removed them due to the easy breakage. It definitely is the Pod Ultimate rather than the regular pod though. I prefer the new shifter to the Eagle AXS, which I found to be too light touch, resulting in accidental double shifts when riding over bumpy terrain. I find the chain slap is much reduced compared to the regular AXS, and also much appreciate the more even spacing on gear 2 and 3; the jump on the older cassettes between the 52 and 42 was too much.
I will need to rewatch this video, ahehe! I'm amazed at this new stuff, I do hope it's not really that complicated during operation. Lots of love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from my end--the Philippines! #RideOn #KeepBiking
These videos are very nice, thanks! I am quite surprised there aren't bunch of angry comments on having to create a account to "ride your new transmission"
Perfect manual. Perfect video. I don't need it yet, because my Spark is 2019 and not UDH-compactable, but it was please to see such a nice video. Thanks.
Great video and I agree - better than the SRAM official one. Now I have to learn (have learnt) a new way to tighten up the rear wheel after replacing! Also good to see you have it working with the oval, I will have to swap out my Power Meter in order to do this (back to 4 bolts) since the super nice XXSL one only has the threaded rings and SRAM doesn't have a threaded oval (yet anyhow)
Great video thanks!! Picks up on a number of points that the official SRAM video doesn't make clear. Question - If the derailleur needs to be removed to box the bike for air travel just how crucial is the 35nm tightening on reassembly? I'm thinking reassembly at an airport with minimal tools. Or would you just leave it in place if possible? Thanks.
Thanks! It is important to tighten that bolt to the recommended torque as it keeps that knurled washer in place. But you can remove the cage? Not sure that'll work with chain installed though. I hear you about installing at the airport, I did it in the hotel lobby :)
Awesome video. New subscriber. I didn't think you could use the non-T-Type cranks/chainring/chainline. I'm currently running the gen1 AXS GX drivetrain. Tbh it's been working flawlessly for the past year and I'm wondering if this upgrade is worth the headache.
Great video! But I have one question regarding the oval chainring. I have 30T absolute black oval with 3mm offset. Can I re-use it with the Sram Transmition?
Great video! I have been looking for the answer about replacing my AXS XO1 on my tracer with a t-type and keeping my 5Dev cranks and oval with it. Glad I can do that!
Hey, love your vids for us old heads. Would you know if when setting up Transmission with an oval chainring do you set it up for 34, 32, or 30 for a 32 tooth oval? Since the 32 oval acts as a 30, and 34 depending on what position it's in. Have you had any issues with your oval on xmiss? Waiting for my kit in the mail, thanks. Peace.
Thank you very much. Very helpful especially the last chapter. If u have the time, i would like to see if the Transmission derailleur can shift the old eagle chain and very important the old eagle cassette.
Great information, even though I don't have this set up, I still enjoy watching your videos and the level of detail you put in every one. SRAM or Shimano should have you on their staff as a product specialist. First.
Nice to see that you are running with an oval and 52mm chainline. That is what I am going for when I get around to buying an upgrade kit. Pleas let me know how the shifting performs with your setup. I.e if you've had any problems while actually riding the bike.
This is the video I've been looking for! Got a used derailleur, chain, and for cheap and I'm just running the stock non-type or axs crankset and it's working great! Although do you think I should get wide dub crankset? I'm still running stock
Awesome video! Just found your channel. I just swapped my AXS XO T Type drivetrain off of my 2024 Santa Cruz Large Nomad and put it on a new 2023 Santa Cruz Medium 5010 build. I had my LBS do the swap for me but now I am dropping my chain in gears 10 & 11 when back pedaling which has never happened before. I know there's about 10mm difference in chain stay length between the two bikes but I haven't experienced this before and have had several hi end mtbs. I also know many say this is common, but again I have never experienced it on my other Santa Cruz bikes. I am hoping to get your thoughts? Thanks!
55 mm chainline allows manufacturers to build better BB area and give wider tire option. 2.5 mm is pretty much one gear over if anything 52mm prioritizes the easier gears a bit
@@LoveMTB Thank you so much for the information. More importantly, thank you for the awesome videos. It helps us a lot. More power and keep up the good work!
Since I tried GX AXS last year I doubled down on mechanical drivetrains, T-type prices and flat top chains confirmed to myself that I was following the right path, I used to be a SRAM drivetrain person but now TRP is what I expect from a modern no fuss mountain bike drivetrain.
Hey, just a quick question, when pulling down on derailleur to torque up, do you gently pull back or does it have to be firm. I find it wants to pop out of the A/B setup mode. Cheers
Quick question: can you run a T-Type cassette and derailleur with an «old» 12 speed eagle chain? I hate the fact that every new components from the SRAM T Type drivetrain is completely new (they did not need to change the chainring mounts and the cranks).
@@LoveMTB Because I don't want to buy the whole thing, I expected the old Eagle chainring and cranks to work with T-Type and only wanted to buy the derailleur and cassette. I don't understand why the old Eagle chain cannot work on the T-Type cassette when it works on normal sram cassettes that also work with flat top chains. Money is not really an issue. The main issue is with Sram changing everything on every new generations just like Apple does. I mean was is really necessary to go from 3 bolts to 8 bolts pattern for their new chainring? To me this is killing the bike industry because it pushes me to keep my stuff for longer.
Great video! Converted my vitus mythique 10-speed to sram xo1 (cable 12speed) . When i lineup the jockey wheel ( on derailleur) with 10T cog the adjustment screw needs to be back out all the way the hanger is stock and not bent. What to do??
Have this for Eagle 12 speed - ua-cam.com/video/8gHq3bqp9I0/v-deo.html Check that your cassette is fully seated. And I ssueme you do this without having the cable attached? If it is loosen that cable it's too tight already😏
cable is not attached. When mounted cassette i did check the 148mm which tells me cassette is fully seated (correct??) i will double check. Is UDH the answer?? Thanks for quick response
Hi ! Nice video !! Quick question. I'am trying to mount the xx sl groupset with wide crankset and 38T 3mm offset chainring on my specialized epic 2022 (not EVO). I think the bike has 52 chainline, do you know which spacers I have to use for the right and left side ?? 🤔
Thanks for the GREAT video. I was able to install my new transmission system successfully because of your video. One question about charging a rear wheel. Do I need to start with loosing the RD from the UDH?
Hi I have another question. Is it normal to have good amount of play side by side when hanging the RD onto the frame before tightening the rear axle? I had very noticeable play in axial direction, but the installation was successful.
Can you provide the brand and model of chainring that is compatible with t-type chain? And do you know any examples where it's the other way around? Has new mount but compatible with old eagle
I personally prefer the old BUT you would get used to either especially since SRAM is launching a rocker version for this also. Few months away though…
Is there a reason why we have to do the same step when replacing the wheel? Just want to understand the reasoning behind it. Thanks for you informative videos.
No worries It’s so the derailleur is set in place it’s going to be given that there is no adjustment for that B-gap. So I would do what they recommend when replacing the wheel😊
When using a torque wrench, watch out for the second tightening. When the wrench clicks, you have 35Nm. When you do the second click, it's more. Best regards
Interesting about the chainline ... you said it works fine with a 52 mm chainline? I am considering a bike with Transmission but want to swap the default Sram crankset for a 152 mm one . I thought I had to play with the chainring offset to get a 55 mm chainline, you're saying there's is no need to do that?
Hello, is it normal for the Derailleur to have lateral wobble (left right) when I undo one full rotation from snug? In every video it seems like it just becomes loose and pivots around the axle, however mine wobbles side to side too
Not sure I follow your question, all derailleurs have a bit of side-to-side with that long cage. Derailleur is not supposed to operate when "I undo one full rotation from snug"
Hello I have shimano 11speed cassette 11-42t And crankshaft 2x11 26-36t will it be good idea to upgrade to sram 1230 NX 12x1 11-50t and crankshaft 32t . I am looking for top end speed or are they same? thanks.
Yes so far, had some clean-up to do with the chain which had some tacky grease and I had to re-torque my cassette and derailleur but after a few rides it went well. 😎
Damn I would love to install this on my bike. Challenge is, my Carbon frame will not accept UDH. Does anyone know of a Fab shop who could modify my rear Triangle to accept UDH?
i have an issue, i do all the same steps, but at the end when i tight up to 10 Nm the thru axle it just blocks my drivetrian complitely, as a result i cant even move the cranks....if i lose the thru axle the transmission works properly, but it is not right, cuz the wheel itself is drilling. I dunno what to do
I have a new bike coming and am seriously contemplating transmission, but the whole retorquing of the rear wheel is just stupid. If you have QR axles that is one thing, the other is removing the wheel on the trails during tire woes. The engineering is sound, but completely f’ed on usability. That would be the best reason to never use Transmission in an XC race, because changing a flat in the pits under stress would be stupid slow… smh
@@Fulllean well check out Nino’s double flat in Mt Sainte Anne and when replacing the rear they made sure to release the cage before tightening. So it it doable😊

xx chain, In the box says made in portugal but for some reason the price here is higher than in the rest of the planet!
That’s crazy!
i have an issue, i do all the same steps, but at the end when i tight up to 10 Nm the thru axle it just blocks my drivetrian complitely, as a result i cant even move the cranks....if i lose the thru axle the transmission works properly, but it is not right, cuz the wheel itself is drilling. I dunno what to do
If the cassette is not properly tightened on the XD driver that is what you will see
Good!
I have a new bike coming and am seriously contemplating transmission, but the whole retorquing of the rear wheel is just stupid. If you have QR axles that is one thing, the other is removing the wheel on the trails during tire woes. The engineering is sound, but completely f’ed on usability. That would be the best reason to never use Transmission in an XC race, because changing a flat in the pits under stress would be stupid slow… smh
@@Fulllean well check out Nino’s double flat in Mt Sainte Anne and when replacing the rear they made sure to release the cage before tightening. So it it doable😊
👌👍
