Bonus feature is that the poor XTR pedal seal is showing. 😁

Very nice.. it would have been pretty sad if you couldn't run a 46t 1x kn the Crux but could on the Diverge... So far 46t 10/50 Eagle is my Favorite do everything gravel gearing

The chainring compatibility table has been slightly updated again, but still with some rather confusing data inside :noidea:

I don't really understand the SRAM ecosystem, why is there greater 2x range with the normal spindle as opposed to the wide?

I wish they would explain their reasoning for why it won't work. I mocked up 52/36 and it looked just fine on my Dub Quarq.

The wide spindle was introduced to enhance tire clearance. Consequently, it is designed to be used on tough terrain and therefore bigger front rings than the given option would not make sense.

To those that have installed a SRAM crank with a normal spindle and sram BB, how many and what type of spacer did you use on drive side?

My BB came with a 2.5mm and 5mm spacer but I am sure I have others in my parts box.

I´m a bit confused about which Sram dub bb I need. There is one "internal" and on "external", which one is correct?
Seems lik my google skills are letting me down at the moment...

You just need a plain old Sram DUB BSA BB.. all BSA are external threaded

What size spindle? If dub, it's 3mm drive side.

DUB is what I will be running. The BB came with a 2.5mm and 5mm.

Sounds correct according to the SRAM choose a BB chart: https://www.sram.com/globalassets/docum ... ty-map.pdf
