SRAM Eagle T-Type Transmission Compatibility Thread

[pdrmartins]

When you open the actual app, I think the axs app walks you through the process. You need to make sure you put it in the right “mode” (A/B selector thing) and shift to the correct gear for “setup” based on your frame. Most of it is pretty easy to do. I think I put the exact things I had to do earlier in this thread.
Once set up, it’s great!

As far as the Torque On? Best bike I’ve ever had. I’ll admit mine is HEAVILY modified from stock. I got a CF8 but pretty much everything except the stem is different.
Swapped Fox 38 damper with MRP Lift. Smashpot coil converted the air spring
Shock is now RS SuperDeluxe Coil
Brakes got swapped to Hayes Dominion A4
GX Transmission drivetrain
Bikeyoke Divine dropper
OneUp Carbon bars
J-Pedals magnetic pedal
Just finished building a set of wheels based on Ibis Send rims with OneUp Hubs and Sapim CX-Ray spokes.
I use it for everything from XC to full on DH. Absolutely nothing the bike cannot handle. Easiest and most comfortable bike I’ve ever had on jumps. Yeah, it’s got the battery issue right now where they’re waiting on replacement (I’m still riding it), but I can’t think of any bike I’ve had that was nearly as much fun.
My ONLY wish is that I’d waited 6 months so I could have had the EP801 Shimano motor.

Oh man that's a beast bike, with all of your mods for sure!

I did some mods on my spectral as well and I love the bike!

Despite the issue with of waiting for the new bat,t I still ride mine as well.

Mine as the EP801 and 900w bat.

Keep ripping!!!

J-Pedals magnetic pedal

Haven’t heard of this brand.
I have personal experience with the Magped’s and Avery Hustle peddles.

The platform on the Avery Hustle seem slightly smaller plus the magnets articulate which may be an advantage. I use the Avery Hustle on both the Fuel EXE and Rail.

I mainly use 3 types of SPD shoes (winter, wet’n’muddy, and summer weather). Slight adjustments in spacers is necessary on each shoe for different grip.

Curious of your thoughts, reasons or experiences. ??

Magnetic Clipless Pedals :: J-Pedals

Check out the page. I’m a huge fan of small biz of off the wall brands.
But what really sold me was that it has no pins to grab my shins if I mess up. But the magnetic pull is enough to lift my bike with.
They’re absolutely awesome. Not cheap, but worth it

A thread to share the results of what you've found does and doesn't work with the T-Type.

For example, @macbeth89 is trying the E13 34T chainring on an EXe and no doubt others are trying some existing setups with different T-Type pieces.

Officially, only the AXS controllers and Mech Batteries are backwards compatible (Plus the old ones work with the T-type if you don't like the feel of the new ones - not everyone does).

T-type cassette and chain works great with regular xx1 derailleur and shifter paired with a nsb t-type chainring.

Griding the lip inside of the hanger is required to have enough space for the cassette.

Hello everyone
Please share any up-to-date information.

Previous generations of mechanical derailleur are compatible with the new T-type cassettes?

KMC have released a T-Type Flattop chain in gold. I just ordered one from Amazon. AUD$71 to fit to my Gold and Black Amflow PL Carbon Pro.

The Silver version is even cheaper. I'll let you know how it performs.

Nice one, hope they will do the same on their Eglide chains.

Has anyone installed a SRAM 90/70 mechanical shifter and derailleur with a cassette, chain, and chainring that aren't T-type? Is the 2mm washer necessary on the cassette even though the shifter is mechanical?

There is no limit or B-screw. So it won't align without the 2mm washer. There is a tiny amount of adjustment in the barrel screw. That's it.
