    Well done. Funny, but Thunder Mountain Bikes installed my GX while I was traveling. My wife picked up the bike without getting any instructions. Ironically, this video answered all my questions.

    Would be great if you mention that the b-tension (chain gap) adjustment needs to be done in full sag (fully)!

    Well done! The only thing I would add is when you need to micro-adjust.

    If I’m upgrading from a sram GX cable derailleur to the sram GX asx derailleur would my current chain be able to fit? Or would I need a new chain? I just put on a brand new chain so I don’t really want to buy another one.

    Forgot About Sag When Setting B Gap. Let some air out of the Shock till it’s at 25-30%

    Good call! Thank you for this. We don't find this to be a necessary step and don't usually need to do this for installs in our shop. But, it's a good step to keep in mind if you're having issues dialing in all in.

    i have a question I have a Giant Defy Advanced 2 bicycle with a Shimano 105 groupset, and I'm now considering getting Sram Rival AXS front and rear derailleurs and shifters. Is it possible to use them without changing the crankset, cassette, and calipers, or do the other components need to be replaced as well? My rear cassette is 11/34, and the front crankset is 50/34 Dura-Ace R9000 model. Thank you in advance.

    Thats correct. Your existing SRAM Eagle Cassette and Crank will work with the upgrade kit.

    i thought all Sram derailleurs install to the frame directly without hangers. Also, they were advertising that there is no limiting screws. I'm confused. Someone chime in please?

    Hello! This video shows how to install the previous version of AXS. SRAM's new Transmission line attaches directly to the frame and does not have limit screws.

    Anyone tried with a Shimano cassette? I know SRAM will say no.. but I've read it works fine.

    I did, had problems with my chain length (two short) and after installing a new chain works like a charm. I have a Shimano Derore CS-M6100. 10-51T Cassette
