Either kit will work, the 104BCD kit will have a suboptimal 52mm chain line and the Brose kit will have a chainring with the correct 55m chain line but the cranks will have the wrong offset!
Levo cranks have a custom offset, so if you choose to use the SRAM cranks you will end up with a wider...
I'm running X0 cranks with zero issues. If you don't want to use the cranks that are included with the groupset, simply install the chainring and use your existing cranks and live with the gap between the crank and chainring.
Levo runs a 52mm chain line as standard.
Eagle transmission has moved to a 55mm chain line with Boost 148 spacing. It'll work with a 52mm chain line but it might not shift quite as well and will probably wear quicker.
The other advantage of a 55mm chain line is that you can run a 38T chain...
Brose goupset is the correct one for the Levo, ignore the comment on the Bike24 website. The direct mount chainring supplied with this groupset will give you the correct 55mm chain line.
If you buy the 104BCD groupset, it will work but you will still be running a 52mm chain line.
The...

The other advantage of a 55mm chain line is that you can run a 38T chain ring on a Levo, a 38T chain ring on a 52mm chain line either didn't fit or was very tight.
I think there are 4 Powerlocks links in the packet but still expensive, that's the "cheap" version as well! :rolleyes:

Strange, there was 3mm difference between the standard chainring with spider and new direct mount when I did the same measurement, giving me a perfect 55mm chain line.
Levo runs a 52mm chain line as standard.
Eagle transmission has moved to a 55mm chain line with Boost 148 spacing. If you have a frame with non Boost 142 spacing then you would use a 52mm chain line with Eagle transmission.
If you want to use a 104BCD chainring with a 55mm chain line then you...
