Levo Gen 3 Where To Buy Brose XO Eagle Transmission Groupset?

my local shop ordered it last month and it came in on the 12th
The brose groupset is not 100% compatible with the Gen 3 Levo. Both the included cranks and chainring will give you the wrong offset. You need to buy the 104BCD groupset.

I was able to get all of the parts from Brands Cycle in NY. Great people, great prices. 104 BCD chainring, chain, cassette, and derailleur. I re-used my AXS paddle shifters (I prefer them to the new pod shifters).

Though I'd personally stick with the 34T chainring unless you have a reason to go to the 36T. Note that the SRAM chain length calculator will be correct for either the 34T or 36T though.

I found the old shifter fits better for me as well, the new bracket for the Pod I could not get in a good place with my Magura MT7
A good reason to go with the 36T chainring is drivetrain wear. According to SRAM, for every two teeth you add to the chainring you can increase the lifespan of the components by approximately 50%.

Only catch on the chain length is if you want to run the 36T and in the low setting it shows you need 120 length vs the 118 length for the 36T in the High setting. So I cut mine to 118 and if I want to run low I have to switch to the 34T chainring.
I ran 120 links with a 36T in both low and high, no problems.

I followed the app and it listed 118 for when I input High setting, it was until a day after that I thought about running it in low and the app then showed 120
I had figured out prior to install that I needed 120 links with 36T when in low. I initially cut to 120 links and tested in high to see if it caused any issues, no problems, so I left at 120. I've also heard other folks saying that they run 118 in low and high without an issue...
I'm having the same issue. If I put it to the right off the Magura, the POD is almost rubbing against my thumb... and on the left side of the Magura it's just that bit too far away. A bit of a stretch to press it. My brakes haven't moved for about 10 years, so I'm not wanting to move them now...
I wondered if the £60 "Bridge Clamp" would make it more adjustable when hanging it off the Magura matchmaker. I like the feel and the angle of the POD... but it's not much use if I can't get the distance correct!

Throw away the matchmaker clamp. Immediately. Horrible ergonomics. Get the AXS-specific clamp with the proper offset, and the Magura clamp. Links below. You'll thank me later.

See above - my recommendation for the ultimate setup for the AXS paddle shifter + Magura MT7's.

Not sure this would work as the Magura has the bolt pointing down and the looks like it needs to be putting towards the rider to work. This is the clamp you mentioned?

Bridge is available for both left and right side.
The general consensus seems to be that the infinity clamp has much better ergonomics...

I really think they should make a shifter that's a little like the remote for the power modes on the Reign.

I wondered about that - but I’ve seen a few pictures with people with it going away from you and the POD set further back.
I want to make it work… just not sure how!!
I have a spare AXS clamp, so I think might try this. Didn’t think about it until I saw above!
I thought about something like this - but that doesn’t seem to work either! I’d like so see the setup too!

NOOOOOOO! Don't do it. Any kind of matchmaker/combined clamp is a compromise. Use separate clamps.

Here ya go. This allows me to move the individual components freely and independently to get a perfect setup.

Ah - I thought you somehow had a solution to the new POD AXS controller with Magura. For me, the Magura matchmaker with the AXS paddle worked ok.

The separate mounts work even better. ;-)
Agreed, the Infinity clamp works really well on the new POD's.
What brake levers do you have? I just can't get the infinity clamp into a suitable place with the Magura levers. It needs an adjustment in the middle so you can either bend it closer or further away.
I'm going to play about with it tonight and see if I can get a better option.

Do you like the pods? I tried them and returned them. The paddle version of the older AXS shifter just "feels" more natural to me.
I use SRAM Codes. Maybe I was just lucky as they fit perfectly on the inside of the brake clamp. I've used matchmaker mounts for years, always liked the clean looks and the placement of the shifter was fine with both mechanical and AXS shifter.
Like you I was disappointed that SRAM didn't include the bridge, there was no way I was going to drop £60 on on it so I used the infinity clamp. I now wouldn't go back...
I guess it doesn't work for you due to the distance you run your brake levers from the grips?
At first no, I thought I didn't like the ergonomics and they felt a bit cheap! After using them on a couple of rides I then went back to the original controllers, it was then very evident why the POD's were better in almost every aspect. They have a far more positive feel to the buttons and it's almost impossible to accidently shift the gear by knocking the controller, something I did frequently on the originals.
I like them so much I replaced my Reverb controller as well.
I should also mention that I prefer the standard POD with plastic buttons rather than the ultimate with rubber buttons.
