So my XX1 is 1 ride old. It didn't self-destruct and I didn't lose the chain.
I'm running a 10 speed KMC powerlink rather than the 11 speed SRAM powerlock. I want to maintain the easy serviceability of the system that I have grown used to on 10 and 9 speed setups
The 10 speed link sits properly on the chainrings and the cassette. It joins easily and doesn't have any play. I didn't measure it but I assume it is slightly wider however there is no rubbing at any point. The distance between the pins may is superficially the same and as I said, it runs perfectly (need to measure the pin-pin distance with the calipers tonight)
My only concern is that any minor differences in dimensions could lead to premature wear in the cassette or chainring. Obviously, having the measurements to hand would help quantify this risk.
Anyone have any opinion or experience on this?
Cheers
