Yes it's normal, the bike industry has great QC on frames! :rolleyes:

I believe the spider is unchanged on the MY24 bikes so the chainline will still be 52mm. SRAM have said that Transmission is fully compatible with a 52mm chainline.

Since there’s no derailleur hanger anymore, the XD driver body’s end cap sits directly against the derailleur body, not a dropout. SRAM moved the cassette outboard 2.5 mm to make up for that.

I don't believe so as the Eagle Transmission cassettes moved outboard by 2.5mm.

The direct mount chainring should give you a 55mm chain line with a Brose motor but because the motor is offset on the Levo, you end up with around a 57mm chain line. You can remove 2mm off the chainring to give you a 55mm chain line. The 104BCD chainring doesn't define the chain line, it's set...

Thanks for sharing. Did SRAM confirm that the BROSE direct mount chainring won't give you a 55mm chain line on the LEVO?

As per my previous post, I've been running the DM chainring for around a month now without any issues. Have you measured the chain line? Even if the chain line was out by a couple of mm I wouldn't expect to have the issues you are describing. SRAM tech support are pretty good, might be worth...

I'm really not sure why people are modifying the DM chainring. When I removed the original spider and chainring and compared it to the DM chainring, there was around a 3mm difference. This makes sense as the original spider gives a 52mm chain line and the DM should give you a 55mm chain line...

Yes, 3mm further away from the frame compared to 52mm chain line.

52mm if you're using a 104BCD chainring. It should work with the existing chain guide?

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 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: https://www.biketart.com/products/sram-eagle-t-type-12-speed-powerlock-black-pvd

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...
