????? Sram axs whether original or Transmission are completely independent systems......nothing in the motor determines or affects how gear shifting is achieved...... whether cable or electronic.
SRAM T-type cassette worn out after 940 miles
- Thread starter Pazman
- Start date
The difference being a T type chain rollers are a larger diameter than on an Eagle chain but the pitch is the same.....so only the T type chain checkers will be accurate on a T type chain

and there is no official chain gauge from sram, only one for eagle and below. go figure why
--> you are supposed to run the system to the ground
apart from Park tool CC4.2, or Pedros chain Checker, or SRAM's CHTL8058000
these measure the distance between the backside of 2 rollers rather than between 2 rollers...hence the thickness of the rollers makes no difference to its measurement.
an "old" one will under measure

😠 Temu Gary 😠
the first 2 are 3rd party (hint: no official SRAM product), the CHTL8058000 is for all SRAM chains that need to get changed after 0.8% elongation (hint: all chains but t-type)
you are welcome

I had a GX t type chain break into 3 pieces after 150 miles and a GX cassette creak like my old knees in the morning after 225, probably due to loose or loosening pins. Upgrading both to XO and hoping for a better result. The torque emtbs create is so much higher, these are the few parts that actually deserve emtb specific ones.
I am now riding Transmission XX 3000 kilometers and everything looks like new. Even the chain is still within tolerance, despite a lot of mud and rough terrain. At the time, it was an experiment for me to take the most expensive components for a change. But when I look at it now, it actually seems to be worth it.

You're on the money here. I do similar with all my bikes but have three chains that get hot waxed and rotated. Road bikes rotate every 350 km and eMTB gets rotated every 120-160 km dependant on conditions. All chains get wiped down with microfibres cloth after riding in the dry (Main conditions I ride in where I live) and after riding in the wet all chains get rinsed clean with water and dried.
Did you comprehend the whole Shimano aspect of my statement?
But as far as Ttype goes you are dead wrong. The motor is connected to the shifting and it is not independent. Probably came out after you made your post.

The problem here is the new Ebike power output is overkill for Ttype chains and cassettes.
I wear out cassettes long before the chain ever gets worn. The last 10 chains ive gone through, and not one of them was out of spec.
If you are an eco warrior or ride slow, yes you can get stupid miles out of a cassette to the point you may war out a chain.
If you ride aggressively with a strong Ebike you will wear out the cassette first. That means cleaning the chain perfectly, and hot waxing every two rides. Right now cassettes are only lasting between 200-600 miles. One or two got to 900 miles. Only one cassette stopped hopping chains with a new replacement chain.
