thanks mate, Im running a 1x sram rival (not xplr) i have a HG body and run a 11-36 and it works flawlessly with a shimano chain. however i wish to use a 2x as well as get a powermeter. I have a 105 11spd PM crankset, so i bought an FD and will pair this up. Hope it wont drop my chain on gravel
It works best with the YBN 12s chain - it is the widest 12s and can easily compensate for the difference in cassette width. It is also super efficient and durable.
i just want to say i finally finished assembling my new bike with Sram Etap AXS D1 derailleurs + Shimano 12S drivetrain (YBN 12s Chain, 105 11-34t cassette, rotor 3d24 50/34t 9/10spd rings). Just went for my first test ride and everything is working great!! Im actually still using my old Rotor 3D24 cranks with 9/10s chainrings, it works fine. Will probably eventually upgrade those at some point. So for anyone reading this it works, you just have to make sure the drivetrain is either all shimano or all sram (flat top) standard. Some micro adjusting of the steps is needed.
I Have a GX axs on my 12s XT cassette with the hyperglide chain and e thirteen chain ring, its just what came on my new bike all 12s XT but just put a GX upgrade set on it this week works great
No need to go wide with the road set up. The wide is just for gravel bikes to clear larger tires. Has no bearing on if it will work with Shimano or not.
@BlackWaterCyclist .Fantastic good job I found this . If I use the Wireless Force setup with Shimano 11-34T cassette and chain 12speed ,will it work on my Utegre 8000 11 speed chainrings 52/36. on 25mm tyres Do I need the Wide Force R.D? It is confirmed that the 12 speed chains work on the 11speed shimano cranks just fine. Just a small adjustment is needed on the F.D. Thanks
The regular 33t rear derailleur will clear the 34 tooth with no issues at all. I've seen people run the 10-36 cassette on the 33t rear derailleur before.
ultegra and dura ace cassette no problem but with shimano 105 12 speed. it has a problem, down shift to smallest cog is not a problem it smooth but when you go up to bigger gear in between 9 and 8 cog you will have problem it wont shift under load. you need shift up 2 gear to force it shift up. 105 di2 cassette is no go zone for sram axs deraillur
Its better all round and probably why sram just made the T type to only work on sram cassettes etc its not backward compatible anymore but yeah i think thats more the reason they done the iPhone move locking you in to their products

Nice to see you again on the Blackwater Trail yesterday with Troy and Andrea.
Always great to see you again John! I hope you had a great ride. The weather was nearly perfect.

Someone had to try it. Thanks!
Good to now, that i can use this mix. Great video.

Great video, ty for sharing. Would you recommend going with the "wide" front mech on a Road Bike setup? 30mm tires. (same gearing 52/36 - 11-34.)

This is invaluable information, thank you for adding it here in the comments to help others.

Thanks for trying this, we're all curious about the combinations but few of us have the resources to hand to actually do it 🫡
