Following with one of the previous questions. I heard many vendors telling me that the Sram DUB can only go with the boost. On the ther side, I see vendors selling the Sram DUB non boost, please help, thanks and awesome video
I think I understand your point and question. I'm not an expert on this but my understanding is that the DUB is simply the BB that allows more universal compatibility with various cranksets. You can have a DUB BB and run a standard rather than boost crankset. The "boost" is actually the chainring position on the crankset. For instance, my boost XX1 can accept a non-boost chainring or a boost chainring. In order to run the boost chainring you need a DUB BB... and of course, be running a boost rear-end wheel and cassette. Try googling "SRAM boost chainring versus non-boost."
That's a great question, wish I could answer for sure. Would depend on your bottom bracket width with the GXP. I have GXP on a press fit bottom bracket on another bike and use a specific gxp sram gx crankset. I think you might need some kind of an adapter to use a current dub crankset.
Hey I have a question. I've seen that you've been riding the descendant cranks before. What kind of riding are you doing and also did you have any problem ? I just got a new one from my shop and I'm doing the same switch. Since I'm riding enduro freeride I'm kinda scared of braking it. Not because it would be expensive I just don't want to crash.
I do mainly cross country. I would say I put a lot of miles on the bike and I'm pretty aggressive. I don't jump and my local area trails don't have lots of rocks. I have a few dings on the crankset but have no expectations of any catastrophic failure.
I'll try. Boost indicates the capacity for the crankset to have a chainring installed slightly outward from a traditional crankset. Essentially this allows a more aligned chainline with a boost rear wheel cassette.
Likely, but would depend on your bottom bracket. Sram has a DUB solution for any bottom bracket shell... I believe, or if you don't have a DUB BB there's SRAM's non-DUB XX1 crankset.
For my leg length, improved efficiency during pedaling. Also, with the lower bottom brackets on most full suspension bikes, you'll get fewer pedal strikes.
can I install SRAM XX1 Eagle DUB SL Crank for Quarq DUB Power Meter Spider 175 mm without the powermeter directly onto the chairing and the dub BB?

Thanks. Awesome video. I'm having the same problem to remove my SRAM XX1 DUB crankset. I'll try your advice. Thanks.
hi are those cranks compatible with sram dub PF30 bottom bracket?
Should be. That's the same bb as my Rkt9 in the video.

Very nice crankset. Does it work with a standard SRAM GXP BB?

Hey, I'm french and I don't unterstand what is the difference between boost and no boost crankset, can you try to explain it ? Tkx
I'll try. Boost indicates the capacity for the crankset to have a chainring installed slightly outward from a traditional crankset. Essentially this allows a more aligned chainline with a boost rear wheel cassette.
Would this work with my nx drive train?
Likely, but would depend on your bottom bracket. Sram has a DUB solution for any bottom bracket shell... I believe, or if you don't have a DUB BB there's SRAM's non-DUB XX1 crankset.
and what is better 170 or 175?
For my leg length, improved efficiency during pedaling. Also, with the lower bottom brackets on most full suspension bikes, you'll get fewer pedal strikes.
