Fuel EXe Rear wheel won't spin freely after upgrade to SRAM GX T-type transmission?

[Montana St Alum]

There is a very think spacer that goes on the axle and it looks like it is part of the axle. It may be missing or in your XD driver you took off. I just went thru this with a bike and it sounds like it. Its about 3/4 long and very thin and goes inside the XD driver

Yeah, it acts so much like a missing spacer it hurts!

I just skimmed the discussion so maybe I missed something, but it sounds like there’s too much load getting into the hub bearings.

Will we learn of the outcome?

It turned out to be this O-ring from the old Shimano driver that was left in the driver cavity. It was enough to push the XD driver outward to bind.
