I used the original AXS on an analog bike since launch, I also used it on an ebike for a short period. I loved it on the analog bike, not so much on the ebike. I personally felt that it shifted too quickly for use on an ebike.
Transmission works better on an ebike, it's not night and day...
You can now buy the T-Type Derailleur Pulley Kits, the silver one from the XXSL might look good on X0! :D

Cheapest way to buy it for the Levo SL is as a 104bcd groupset. You'll use everything in the groupset apart from the chainring.
X0 is the way to go, same performance as the XX but a little cheaper. It also looks like GX will be with us soon...
When you push out a pin, the head breaks off. This is the washer looking thing you see around the chain breaker.
If you're starting as a 29er then it will be easy for you to reduce the length of the chain if you ever go mullet...
I had the same dilemma when installing transmission on my Gen3 Levo. It required 120 links in low mode and 118 in high. As I frequently changed between low and high I sized to 120 links and had zero issues in either mode.
For the SL I sized correctly to 116 links as I'm unlikely to change to...
It's got your name written all over it! :D

Haha, I have now ordered both 444 left 321 and they both fit as per your 444 picture. As per my previous post, I think sellers are mixing up the boots so it's a lottery as to what you will receive!
I ordered 321 from - SRAM CARBON CRANK ARM BOOTS GUARDS PROTECTION FOR SRAM AND TruVativ...
I think we all came to the same conclusion!

I asked my LBS to order me a frame but they were unable to get one from their supplier, Specialized UK told them that there were none available until 2024. I was advised to...
I spoke to SRAM yesterday, they confirmed that it's a OE-only crank, so would have to be purchased through Specialized.
Also for anyone who wants the correct boots for these cranks, order the following:
11.6118.074.001 - SRAM Guard Boots for XX / X0 Eagle Crank Arms - T-Type | D1 - E-MTB (Brose)
I bought XX1/X01 cranks boots (00.6118.444.000) and they don't fit correctly. They are too tight and the pedal thread on the crank doesn't align with the hole in the boots. Sounds like what p3eps is describing.
Hopefully the ones I've just ordered (00.6118.321.000) which are the same as the...
I've gone the other way, after riding nothing but Maxxis for the past 10 years I thought I would give Specialized rubber a try. Going to stick with them, great tyres, so much so that my mate who is currently running running assegai's is also moving over after riding my bike!
Yes the issue is specifically with the Fox X2.
For 2024 Fox have supposedly resolved the issue with the changes below. Any shock returned to them under warranty should be fixed with MY24 parts...
NEW base valve piston design and compression tune for increased damping performance and improved...
SRAM reckon that increasing the chainring size by two teeth results in 50% less drivetrain wear!
The steel ring that is included with the groupset is not compatible with the SL, not just because it's 36T but also due to the design. It works with the regular Levo though.
As with the Gen 1 SL...
You can ignore everything I said, SRAM responded with the following:
I apologize for the confusion and will try to help clarify! There were some compatible chainrings that were released ahead of Eagle Transmission that were marked "X-Sync 2" on the front but are compatible with T-Type...
X-SYNC 2. I would imagine t-type chainring will only come on the bikes being built from now on...
