Under £200 if you use CLEAR2022 as well 😉

Clutching at straws here, but would this fit a wheel with a 135 QR hub?

Should fit the hub just fine, but a 135 bike wont have a boost chainline - so the chainring might sit a bit too far from the centre to be ideal - not a major issue, it might be OK, but if there are problems, you could just replace the chainring with a non boost one to correct it.

The cassette fits a standard freehub. Whether you'd be able to fit the crank and BB to a QR frame, and get an acceptable chainline is another matter.
I have had an NX drivetrain on my bike for a couple of years. I expected to have to change it for something better but it hasn't let me down yet. I did swap the chain for a GX after a bit - just for peace of mind.

Non-Boost crank in that one, although is that a simple chainring swap to one with Boost offset? I'm not familiar with SRAM stuff in general.

(I see the Boost groupset is available for £259.99 on CRC)

@doomanic - @aLLy above is right, it's a non boost chainline, so forget what I said above, should suit your bike just find.

Hmmmm. Very tempted to get this to drag my 2010 Stumpjumper FSR kicking & screaming into relative modernity. It's still on 3x9.

Not sure about the bottom bracket compatibility though.
It's the carbon version with a press-fit BB - the description required is this:
SM-BB91-42A - it's often described as custom BB91, but I have no idea whether a standard press-fit BB would work (89.5/92mm - BB92 PF41).

Although - SRAM DUB pressfit BBs get terrible reviews - so perhaps it would be a pain in the arse going forward....

@stumpy01

Keep existing crank and convert it to NW 1x?

Sell the new crank.👍

I only look into bb compatibility when I have to, it does my bloody head in.lol

Oh well, ordered one. Going to look a little odd in a 26er steel hardtail but should work well

Good psa

...any recommendations for a replacement non-boost chainring that would fit the chainset as Id like a bit larger than 32T but all the sram ones on CRC seems to be £70+?

The SRAM steel chainring is only about £17 IIRC.
