STEP 1: USE THE SETUP TOOL Proper positioning of your front derailleur is essential for optimal front shifting, and the new setup tool allows anyone to easily achieve the necessary alignment. If your shifting is subpar, start by checking your mounting position and using a setup tool to adjust...
Setup is effortless thanks to a new tool, designed from the ground up alongside the RED AXS front derailleur. With one red tool for chainring sizes from 46/33 to 50/37 and another in green for 52/39 to 56/43, your derailleur is located perfectly in a few easy steps for fast and pr...
The SRAM RED AXS front derailleur uses Yaw technology with electronic trim to ensure the fastest possible shift while eliminating chain rub in all combinations, with the easiest setup around, thanks to a brilliant new tool. SRAM RED AXS HRD disc brakes True one-finger braking is at hand. ...
SRAM has been the force of progress in the realm of bike drivetrains, so it’s key to keep up to date on the SRAM groupset levels. They were the first major component maker to ditch the front derailleur for a 1x11-speed range and the first to introduce the 1x12 mountain bike drivetr...

The Apex AXS lineup is specifically a 1×12 setup, meaning there’s just a single chainring up front (thus no front derailleur), and 12 gears in the rear cassette. There’s a variety of configurations within that, which we’ll get to, but this isn’t a 2x configuration that has two...
SRAM Rival 22 uses a five-arm setup, complete with a machined thicker construction (known as ‘X-GlideR’), which helps with wear rates while tailoring the the rings to work optimally with the yaw action front derailleur. Both the 105 and Rival 22 chainsets use a universal Bolt Circle Dia...
When removing or reinstalling the rear wheel, the 21t cog should be used (usually) as opposed to every other derailleur I've used which has always called for the smallest cog. The red plastic element you see serves as an indicator for the 21t (gear 6) setup cog for most frames but ...
GX T-Type gets the replaceable skid plates and outer link, tool-free cage, and clutch of its higher price siblings. GX Transmission direct mount. No limit screws here. Though there's no b-tension screw, the derailleur position is still adjusted as part of setup. ...
