Will a transmission cassette play well with regular eagle?

Seems we've reached the point where the new transmission parts are equal or sometimes cheaper than the 2old" eagle 12 speed.

So if I used a transmission cassette with a regular eagle chain, chainring, mech and jockey wheels would it all work?

I may need to adjust the limit screws as its further out or inboard to make it better with certain chainlines? Also anyone know what chainline my old saint cranks have?

I don't think the cassette would clear the UDH.

I was going to say that apparently the cassette is in a slightly different position on T-type.

Few folks on here using transmission on regular eagle cassettes, not sure on the other way round

The company selling new bits will ALWAYS tell you you need new bits - they dont say it wont work, just not tested/designed

I tried a standard 12sp eagle chain on a t type cassette. Briefly, just to see.

It seemed to work but it didn't seem entirely happy.

This was with a t type mech.

Hopkinson Cycles they usually have the SRAM cassettes in at good prices.
