My new bike has come with SRAM 13 speed (rival axs xplr I think ). Just having a look around for a quick link as I always like to have one in my backpack but I don't seem to be a bit of find 13 speed quick links anywhere? Does anybody know what the part number is for the quick link?

It's funny, the last time I rode with SRAM it was grip shift ! I'm pleased to say that they have improved dramatically since then

Sounds like the 12/13 speed SRAM road / gravel groups use the same Flattop chain and Powerlock - link.

Specifically the D1 Power Lock although SRAM website says that is for 12 speed road chains only. I don’t think that is correct. Quick message to SRAM Rider Care will tell you for sure.

Yeah, I think that page is out of date (probably meaning not 10/11 speed at the time it was written) - the pages for the various flat top chains state Power Lock D1 (e.g. Force)

Yeah 100% it's the SRAM 12sp flat top one you want. I'd also ignore the "use once" thing unless you're super risk adverse, I re-use them 5 or 6 times (chain waxing would be silly expensive otherwise).

I received a response from SRAM 

"The PowerLock that you need for your Rival XPLR E1 chain is the same one that our 12-speed drivetrains use.

 

00.2518.036.003 is the part number for a kit that includes 4 PowerLocks for 12- and 13-speed road/gravel Flattop chains in silver.

00.2518.036.007 is the part number for the rainbow version of the kit"

 

All ordered
