Sure?
I am trying it right now and it just looks wrong
The dérailleur stops before the 50T sprocket and won't go alle the way in. The stop screw is alle the way out......
Hasse I’m running a Levo that came with SRAM and I have a XTR setup now. It originally came with a 11-42 and now running 11-46 and no issues at all. Sometimes you need a longer stop screw and based on your 50t, I guess you are installing Eagle?

Bottom line I have never heard of different hanger layout for SRAM or Shimano.

Yep, Direct mount does not fit SRAM. My Decoy and My wifes Canyon are both Direct Mount XT.

Glad someone spotted this.

NB: I edited this post after I looked at my Decoy.

That does sound like an adjustment issue not a compatibility issue. Have you got it on the hanger correctly ?
Apparently a Sram derailleur will not fit on a direct mount gear drop....
Standard Mount vs. Direct Mount Derailleur Hangers

Quote: "Currently, SRAM does not offer any direct mount rear derailleurs, and always need to be mounted to a standard derailleur hanger. If your frame has a direct mount hanger, and you are switching from Shimano direct mount to SRAM, you will need to replace your hanger with a standard mount version of your hanger."

I wonder what happens if you have to send the bike with all the upgrades to YT for guarantee issues. Do they refuse to work on it due to changing the og spec or are they cool enough to proceed with it anyway?

The wild enduro rear 2.4 was great on the jump trails but i needed more traction for the steeps around here. 2.6 Ewild on the back with 220 rotors fixed that. May have to run one on the front when i get a triple clamp fork on it. Now see how the Ewild does on the jump trails next. Lap on rednecks revenge to cash advance was fun as . Put any eeb concerns to rest

Any idea which derailleur hanger fits the Decoy base with alloy swingarm? Ta
Got email answer from YT.
Same as the carbon rear end.
The Jeffsy 2019 Hanger.
Waiting for mine to arrive this week and then its all SRAM NX Eagle from here.
The Shimano SLX cassette on the base model Decoy is made from warm butter. I have done 250 km. on it and the chain is skipping on the smallest 11T ring. Just like when you put a new chain on a worn down cassette. Really weird..... checked limit and b-screws and all is to spec.

Have you guys removed the plastic shield behind the cassette? Mine arrived loose and I’ve given up on trying to get it back into place clipped onto the spokes properly. Doesn’t seem neccessary anyways, is it? None of my other YT’s have come with one.

First thing you have to do with the bike. Remove this ugly piece of shit.

I only got 10 reflectors. Was hoping for a dirty dozen.

Canmore posse dropped in for a visit this weekend. 3 laps on 5620 was mint. Gave them all a try on the decoy for a bit of the climb. 5 potential new eebers it short order now i think

hmm I got error code w011 a couple of times on the last rides and that indicates speed sensor but there is not much to adjust there,, anyone else had this?
Hey man. Just got the same issue. No speed reading out of the blue and motor cuts out.
How did you solve this?
