Are all SRAM cranks compatible?
SRAM is bringing to market a complete update of its 12-speed crank range, from GX Eagle up to XX1 Eagle, via Stylo and Descendant, all based around a new axle diameter specification named DUB (Durable, Unifying Bottom Bracket).
Can I use SRAM crankset with Shimano?
Buyers are free to use a SRAM chain and cassette with their Shimano groupset, and vice versa, just as a SRAM chain can be paired with a Shimano cassette, and vice versa. SRAM’s cassettes and chains are compatible with all of Shimano’s groupsets, and vice versa.
Is SRAM NX or GX better?
The NX groupset is a bit more of a budget-minded groupset, offering a crazy price-to-performance ratio. SRAM’s GX groupset is focused more on higher-end customers who are looking to pay more to save some weight on their bike, and they also offer a bit more performance than the budget-oriented NX groupset.
What cranks are compatible with SRAM dub?
And SRAM is betting big on DUB. Each and every Eagle-compatible 1x crank (that’s; XX1, X01, GX, and both carbon and alloy Descendant and Stylo cranks) will now be available in the DUB configuration. DUB crank spindles have the intriguing diameter of 28.99 millimeters.
Are SRAM and Shimano interchangeable?

Are SRAM and Shimano 12 speed cassettes interchangeable?
Technically, a SRAM cassette can work with a 12-speed Shimano chain. However, the combination doesn’t provide the benefits offered by Shimano’s 12-speed drivetrains. 12-speed Shimano chains and cassettes are designed to work in conjunction to optimize shifting under load.
Why is SRAM so expensive?
Price. SRAM is much more expensive than DRAM. Since SRAM uses flip-flops, which can be made of up to 6 transistors, SRAM needs more transistors to store 1 bit than DRAM does, which only uses a single transistor and capacitor.
