So, im thinking about abandoning Sram AXS on my gravel bike and going Ekar. However I want to keep my AXS crank woth Quarq 107bcd powermeter.

Anyone know if Ekar Chain will play nice with the new xsync AXs 1x rings? I really dont feel like reading the main Ekar thread, to much faff talk for me lol

TIA

I believe that Ekar will not work with your AXS crankset.

Yep, the consensus so far seems to be that the 13s chain is too narrow for any of the existing hainrings - apart from the Ekar one of course.

Ratio Technology has a 38t 110 BCD chainring that will work with 12 & 13s

Thats great but Sram AXS native BCD is 107 :(. Inwould need the DZero spider to use the ratio ring unfortunately which would cost another $450'for a different PM spider
