SRAM XPLR derailleur with EAGLE (10-50) cassete

[Nuno]

This is a proof of concept , still to be tested “in the wild” but looks promising. All gears work without problems. Note that I am using a regular chain , not a flattop. The chain had to be shortened 1 link as when it is assembled with the same cassete and an EAGLE derailleur.

Looks promising.
Do you think 10-52 would work?

Any updates here? I'm debating how to spec an XPLR 1x setup.

What is the reasoning for regular vs flat top chain? What are your thoughts on the gearing jumps of the 10-50? What chainring tooth count is it paired with?

It just won't work on a normal hanger. I've got a 46 and it's at the limit. It looks like he's got an extender.

What cage are you using? Does it shift slower / less smoothly?
