      To be honest, I prefer the way SRAM does it than Shimano in this instance since SRAM has offset chainrings. If you buy a 55mm chainline crankset you can buy a 6mm offset chainring for 52mm chainline and vice versa. With Shimano cranksets, you're stuck with the intended chainline of the crankset since they don't offer offset chainrings. Only a few third parties sell 6mm offset chainrings for Shimano: PassQuest (questionable chinese brand but looks pretty nice), Alugear (large, gravel style chainrings), and Garbaruk (reputable but expensive). Basically with SRAM you can choose your desires Q-Factor with the crankset then buy the correct offset chainring to match.

    Quite possibly the only video on YT to address the differences. Well done.
    I have the new X0 Transmission cranks mated to regular X01 drivetrain. I have the 3mm spacer on NDS and 7.5mm spacer on DS.
    Since my chainline is technically still 52mm, my new cranks are pushed outboard 3mm as they’re MTB Wide. I was able to find an 8 bolt 6mm offset chainring to achieve the 52mm chainline.
    I think currently the only manufacturer that makes 8 bolt 6mm offset chainrings is Taiwan based cycling manufacturer Croder Cycling. I have their 34T ring.

    You can actually get the Transmission crankset in a non-wide spec as well, seems to work fine on most bikes, since virtually no bikes are made specifically for the 55mm chain line yet. And also - No worries if you buy the "regular" dub bottom bracket, since if you buy a transmission crankset or groupset, it comes with the appropriate spacers.
    Had to do all this research myself when installing the groupset early last year, when no good videos like this existed. Always good to see you provide some awesome info to the people!

    • @hucknroll6723

      Yeah, it doesn't matter. It's more about frame clearance and chainring clearance. No bike is the same. So the difference between 52mm - 55mm is not a thing at all.

      @@esshoul you can run 3mm offset on 52mm chainline as long as your ring doesn't hit the frame. The offset is just to clear the frame on some bikes. The transmission will run fine regardless of the chainline. You need around 3mm from the frame to the chainring.

    Thanks for the video! Exactly what in dealing with at the moment, I am transferring a dub bb from my gravel bike to an epic HT to make a drop bar hardtail with a short rigid fork.
    Picked up a used GX t type crankset to use with my 40t chainring, as a 40t wouldn’t fit a set of 3 bolt boost cranks, being 8 bolt, and not to mention the frame not having enough clearance.
    I suppose a Rival or Force AXS wide crank would solve that. But I went wider and will use my AXS chainring of 40t, with an 8mm offset. This should dial me in for an appropriate chainline, and enough clearance. Since I don’t have the appropriate spacers, I have 3-D printed some, and will let you know how that goes!

  • @Dantutz
    @Dantutz 5 місяців тому +1

    I've modified the chainline on my Epic with a combination of a 6mm offset ring and a bag of spacers you should be able to find at any bikeshop and be a lifetime supply of spacers, all possible thiknesses.
    Meaning that if you have the bag, just buy whatever BB is cheaper.

    If you cannot find a DUB wide bottom bracket with correct spacers, or already have a standard DUB bottom bracket, but don't have the corrrect spacers that you need for a DUB wide spindle on your new SRAM transmission cranks, then SRAM do sell a DUB Bottom Bracket Spacer Kit. The kit includes 2.0, 4.5, 5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.0, 10.5 & 2 pieces of 2.5, 3.0, 5.5MM) & 2 standard BSA 68 AL spacers, so should have what you need. The kit has SRAM part number: SSP8002002 and costs 15 EUR/GBP/USD, so would be cheaper than a new bottom bracket that you don't need.

    I recently went through some confusion with a 157 frame. Evil specifies 3 and 7.5mm spacers and Super Boost+ cranks (I had no idea that there are different BB's). Even if I got the "wide" BB...it still would not come with the necessary spacers. When I tried to install the SB+ crank...there was too much slack with 3 and 7.5mm spacers. The SB+ crank needs 4.5 and 9mm spacers. The spacers they specify is for Dub Wide and not the SB+ cranks. Anyhoo...I had to buy a pack of Dub spacers for $26 to get the 4.5 and 9mm spacers. No bike shop within a 30 minute drive had the 9mm spacer.

      DUB uses 3mm chainrings for 52 mm chainline, and 6 mm offset for 49 mm/ non Boost frames. In your case I would say 3 mm u less you want the bias more towards the smaller sprockets in the back?

    To add even MORE "simplification", there is Super Boost + BB with 4.5 , 6.5 or 9.0 mm spacers and let's not forget the Cannondale Ai DUB cranks with different spindles lengths for the 73 and 83 mm BB shells and the matching spacer kits 2.5 and 10.5 mm for 73 mm BB and 4.5 mm spacer for those of us lucky enough to own bikes with the 83 mm BB shell. (FORGET Quark Power meters on Ai spaced bikes!) Thankfully it appears Cannondale has moved away from the 83 mm Ai spaced BB's finally in order to allow T-type transmissions to be used on the newer bikes.
    What bothers me the most is that SRAM has seen fit to NOT sell just a spacer kit, nor has any aftermarket company began to produce spacers. It's just ANOTHER glaring example of the bike "industry" and the so called "standards" they make up in order to part us with our money.

    I have Canyon spectral with GX drivetrain with 55mm chainline. Huge problem is backpedal in lowest gear, chain just drops after half turn back, is this 55mm chainline issue or something else. So annoying on steep and tech climbs when you need to put your leg down and get back up

    • @serzhick23

      55mm chain line is typically recommended for super-boost spaced hubs.
      Spectral has a regular boost 12x148 rear hub, for which the "recommended" chain line is 51-53mm.
      Unless the tire size/frame geometry forces the use of super-boost chainline, their decision looks strange.

  • @VQ30TLJ

    One thing that wasn't quite clear in the video: a regular MTB DUB crankset (113 mm spindle) + 3mm offset is Boost (52 mm) chainline. And since the DUB WIDE is 6 mm wider (119 mm, 3 mm each side), a 3 mm offset chainring produces a 55 mm chainline. Correct?
    Another thing that is not clear from SRAM's info is that DUB WIDE printed on the crank spindle does not distinguish between Road wide and MTB! Of course you can figure out that a Red/Force/Rival/Apex Wide cranksets is Road and XX/XO/GX/NX cranksets are MTB, but SRAM really should not have applied "DUB WIDE" to both of them because MTB Wide has a longer spindle. DUB Road Wide will work with T-type drivetrain only on a Road bike (142 mm rear hub). DUB MTB Wide will work with T-type on a Boost spaced bike typical of most MTBs today (148 mm rear hub). I measured a DUB Road Wide spindle at 113 mm or so (which is what it looks like in this video, but he calls it "114"). If it's the case that a DUB Road Wide spindle is the same length as a DUB MTB **non**-Wide spindle then I blame SRAM for the inherent confusion. They should have called it the two DUB Wides "DUB 113" and "DUB 119" to avoid confusion. Or DUB Road, DUB Wide, and DUB XWide. And sure, almost nobody is trying to put a MTB crankset on a road bike, but I know that this is still going to cause confusion for those edge cases or DIYers trying to understand what is compatible.

    While i appreciate the "standardization" introduced with dub, the design itself is atrocious for a wet climate / riding in dirt.
    Bearing balls are just too tiny to last long, the plastic spacers, and a plastic preload ring, located on the rotating shaft are just a joke.
    I had no idea how to wash/clean my bike with a dub bb, and eventually it would always start grinding asking for an early maintenance.
    Shimano-like 24mm cranks on the opposite work just fine (when they don't crack due to a shimano manufacturing defect, lol).
