SRAM X1 Eagle Boost Cranks w/Direct Mount Chainring. Fits the GXP bottom bracket, various lengths and chainring sizes. £69.99 from Wiggle.

I know it’s not the new DUB size – but a bit of a bargain considering it’s down from over £200 and has carbon arms. I’ve ordered a set – as I could do with a boost-compatible ring and a pair of crank arms, for another bike I’m renovating.

The listing is all over the place; it’s not a photo of an eagle chainring and the Product Data section refers to 11 speed, but the rest of it says eagle 12 speed 🧐

^^ I did notice that. It’s not unique in being a bit of a shite description! 😉

If it turns up and isn’t 12 speed or Eagle – it will be going back. I can’t see Wiggle arguing and refusing free return postage. I took a screenshot in case! 🙂

I just had a look st this and was looking for a chain to go with it. SRAM PC-X01 Eagle 12 Speed Chain is listed in the product description as 9 speed ! I dare say these are all just silly errors and it is all 12 speed really, but it doesn’t exactly inspire confidence and I can’t be bothered with the hassle of returning stuff, so I think I’ll wait.

I’ll report back. If off work at the moment and have time on my hands.

The XX1 Eagle cranks are also very much reduced. £156.99 – again in GXP. Only 170mm and 32T.

It also has the same product data errors…

There was a psa about this a few days back.

Don’t forget, use a new email addy and you get £10 off, making them £59.99😁

Have a look at the other thread they are carbon eagle X1 with a 3mm offset chain ring.

We had two sets delivered yesterday

SRAM Next Rally carbon crank wobbly insert

Doh! All, apologies for the repeat post.

As long as we all get bargains from PSAs then it’s not a problem how many times it’s repeated.

Thanks both. I think I might have actually replied to a previous PSA thread about these now I come to think of it (doh). It’s all good though and I’ve finally ordered them so maybe I can make a more us3ful contribution to the next thread 🙂

^^ Not at all! I took it as it was intended – you were being helpful.

Must. Not. Order. 😟

^^ ☹️

Totally ordered.

Am I right in thinking it’s just the offset on the ring that makes these boost? (3mm versus 6mm on old stuff)

Yes

Received dispatch notification from Wiggle, I’ll feed back when they arrive.

Thanks for the PSA just ordered some to replace my XO cranks, nothing wrong with the XO’s but the colour scheme on these match much better.

Ordered…I have no need for these either!

so, these are only ‘boost’ because of the chainring offset?

So i could replace a normal set of shimano 24mm spindle cranks with these and just put a 10sp NW chainring on?

Can’t see it on Wiggle, are these 30mm or 24mm axle? Ta.

24mm and using the GXP standard bottom bracket that is easy to get hold of – or Hope do adaptors for their own external
BB’s.

it says gpx, so i think thats 24mm

As long as the chainring has the SRAM mount you can use 6mm o/s, 3mm o/s that it comes with or even 0 o/s to get the best chain line. You can then sell on the boost chainring to recoup some of the cost.

Cheers.
Ordered.

Edit – Amazed by the price of the SRAM chainrings…

These arrived today:

Mine arrived today, lovely! Going straight in the spares box ha ha! Weighed in at 538g so very reasonable indeed.

Tempted by there but a non boost chainring is nearly the same price again 😐

Edit – Amazed by the price of the SRAM chainrings…

Yes, I fancied trying a 30T chainring on my GX Eagle setup this year, but ended up buying these (with 30T) instead as I was almost getting the carbon cranks for free 🙂

Boost & non-boost X-Sync NW chainrings are available from other 3rd party suppliers.
Switch system from One Up looks like an attractive solution.
Absolute Black
Blackspire
Superstar
etc.

Maybe it’s taking the point out of buying carbon cranks for weight saving, but steel sram direct mount chainrings aren’t expensive at all, and they last ages!

Mine have arrived and look good. Not quite as as nice as my original 11spd XX1’s – but very stealthy!

I do not need them,
I do not need them,
I do not need them,
I do not need them,
I do not need them,
I do not need them,
I do not need them.

That is a proper bargain!

Do I want them, yes.
Do I need them, no.
Am I going to get them, nope, not a chance.

Poops, perfect upgrade for the crappy 30mm cranks on the Jeffsy. Can fit a 24mm bb (with adapters). Problem solved

No need to worry prices have gone up from £70to130 and 159 to £289

That’s exactly what I was thinking.lol

I’m actually pleased they have gone back up in price now! No temptation.lol

EDIT: Still showing as £69 for me?😟

Mine arrived today, I ended up taking them through to my accessort-obsessed colleague to show her how shiny and carbony they are and saying “this is how I feel every time you show me a new handbag”
