This is my first sram purchase. I've been using Shimano exclusively. I found this SX DUB crankset on sale for $60 USD. Of course I haven't used it yet, but it seems like a quality product out of the box and installed easily using a threaded DUB bottom bracket with the 4.5mm spacer as instructed by sram. With my Shimano M5100-1 crank, I had to play with the spacers in order to reduce the chain line from 52mm to 49.5mm. I like that sram offers different chainring offsets to set the chain line.
Good to know that this crank set is offered in non-boost. I wonder if this chain ring is okay with a Shimano 1x11 drive train. For an older bike build, I wouldn't mind having mismatched drive train components.
Curious how this (and the M5100 w/ spacers) has worked out for you. I'm in a similar situation, looking to run a 1x10 (with Microshift Advent X) on a drop touring bike, 135mm rear hub. I thought I was pretty set on a SRAM NX crankset w/ 6mm offset chainring, but after seeing your Shimano M5100 crankset tip to correct the chainline, I'm curious to hear what you prefer or get a long-run update! My bottom bracket shell is 68mm, so any MTB specific crank will need an additional 5mm of BB spacers too.
I haven't finished this build yet, but the SX Dub crank with 6mm offset chainring does fit this non-boost 142 frame. The DUB bottom bracket comes with the typical 2.5mm spacers needed for 68mm wide bb. It comes with various additional spacers that are needed on the drive side. For MTB you use 4.5mm spacer included with SRAM 00.6418.015.000 bottom bracket. I believe this puts the chain line at 49mm and that's about what you want for a 135 or 142 non-boost frame. I was able to make the M5100 work on my other full susp frame (not my red hardtail in my other videos) by moving the 2.5mm spacer to the non-drive side (73mm shell). This reduced the chain line to 49.5mm which worked perfectly. I couldn't get the chainring any closer without hitting the frame. If you have a 68mm shell and using a Shimano BB, it requires three 2.5mm spacers. Two 2.5mm spacers on drive side and one 2.5mm spacer on non-drive side. You could move one of the 2.5mm spacers from drive to non-drive side providing you have enough threads to engage the bearing cup. This should get you 49.5mm chain line. The other option is to use longer chainring bolts and spacers to space the chainring like I showed in my other video. I would have most likely purchased another M5100 crankset for this build, but could not find one in stock. I found the SRAM SX crank on sale for $50 from Planet Cyclery. You can also look at Truvativ cranks. They are the same as SRAM. SRAM purchased Truvativ. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Have run sram for a while now and I personally think their products are great. I know that they are not to everyone’s taste, but they do the trick 👍

Well I'm still building it but I'm pretty confident SRAM and Shimano 11 speed chains are interchangeable. It's the 12 speeds that are different.
