It will be new "rocker", so I guess same thing as with 936, quite high BB.

I was going to ask here if someone did try to install a non-boost Eagle crankset with a 34T Oval on the FM909.
To have a better chainline on the big cogs, like I did on my FM936.

But then I did some research.

And found an article from WolfTooth: https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/pages/boost-chainline-and-chainrings
Telling that it is a quite bad idea on a 12sp 1x, as the chainring is 3mm more inward, and crosses more the chain on the 2-3 smaller cogs.
And it may touch the cog just above.

I instantly understood why my chains have this strange lateral wear.
So I wrote this other message to make you benefit from my smart trial... ::)

Can you use an offset chainring?

What is the maximum size dropper post/insertion for a medium sized FM909?

The ring is on a Sigeyi power meter, maybe with some shims I'll be able to move it outward.

Still a part or two missing for a new build, but the big one arrived today!  8)
One honorable mention, SRAM is now taking care about the plastic, everything is in cardboard molds.

New AXS shifter looks weird.

New AXS shifter looks weird.
It takes less space than before, and the ergonomic doesn't look bad, to be confirmed when testing it.

The frame is, as expected, compatible.
And you define the length of the chain... yes, in the app !

Anyone else with this frame thats having problem with Sram Axs adjustment?
Tried everything i can think of and I can make it run smooth and silent but then i end up in step 1 within adjustment.
Anyone else thats out of range in adjustment?

My bet is you need some more self training, and calm practice.
Watch again the video in full.
The common harder issues are an improper chain length and a too tight B screw.
The easy ones are a bent hanger, the derailleur not screwed correctly or not well aligned with the right cassette cog, wheel axle not tightened to specs, or poor limit screws setup.

New group set is sick, Cabonazza. I irrationally want to upgrade my 3 month old X01 AXS setup.

I definitely will upgrade to the new trigger pod even if I keep the 'old' derailleur.

Latest update from Adam about the 120mm version. Currently in testing, almost ready for production, size Large by late July. It will use a 165x45mm Trunnion shock and 46mm offset fork (weird, I guess go for 44?).
