December 2024 Update: We attempted to phase this product out, but die hard fans keep demanding it! We held out as long as we could, but are now in the process of re-releasing a new and improved version. We will be offering 3 colors: silver, black, and purple. Stay tuned for more in January!
Is your derailleur shifting poorly? Unfortunately even light crashes can bend parts in your derailleur, ruining shifting performance. Furthermore, bushing wear can lead to loose linkage which will also cause shifting issues. Say goodbye to the frustration of skipping and mis-shifts. We got you covered. Our links kit include everything you need to get the most out of your SRAM derailleur.
Our parallelogram links are CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, and are stronger than the stock parts. Plus, our bushings are made from a low friction polymer and have more surface area (less wear) than the stock bushings. They add less than 5 grams compared to the stock XX1 links.
Parts included:
- Both links
- 4 pins for links (new addition summer '24 free of charge!). Note: These pins work best with X01 and XX1, but not GX. You can use your old pins as long as they are not bent or pitted.
- Bushings
- Shims, washers, and spacers
- Snap rings
Tools included (see ordering options):
- Snap ring tool
- Bushing removal tool. It helps remove the bushings and links on X01 and XX1 links by biting into the bushings from their inside diameters, allowing you to pull them out. This tool is not needed on GX links.
- Pin punch tools (except the 5/32" or 4mm punch). The pin punch tools help remove and install pins. Its like having a 3rd hand.
- Small peg tool. Helps hold shims in place while you install the pin.
* Do not order the "no tools" option unless you are certain you already have the necessary tools. Having the right tools makes a big difference! You can find more info on tools here.
12 Speed Compatibility:
All SRAM Eagle mechanical 12 speed derailleurs (GX, X01, and XX1). The X01/XX1 configuration has different shims, washers, spacers, and pins than the GX, but all the parts are included with each kit, so please refer to the proper installation videos and assembly diagrams.
11 Speed Compatibility:
SRAM XX1, X01, and Force have been verified - they fit and shift great! SRAM GX has not been verified but are highly likely to be compatible. Please contact us if you have a model that you are not sure about and we will help you determine what to do.
We highly recommend to watch the video before installing your links! Installation videos are here.
