Nice! Did you have to replace the crankset and/or bottom bracket? Or, were you able to mount the SRAM 44t chain ring on the one that came with the bike. I assume the Praxis, 44T, 110BCD chain ring that came on the bike was a no-go with your RIVAL derailleur - right? Thanks!
Mike, you went for the gold! Nice bit of bling!
Well, I got an SRAM 44T Chain ring but the bike shop had to flip it around to align it correctly. Didnt replace the crank set. I actually got an Eagle AXS derailer and used the rival shifters. The rear cassette is a 10-50T ... I've been using this a few months and working like a champ!
Very nice machine. Enjoy the heck out of it.
I know this is an old thread but looking to do the same on the same model. Did you change the brakes or reuse the GRX ones?
You have to be a little more specific about what you are changing from what to what. Changing from Shimano to SRAM as in the quoted post requires new levers and brakes.
I'm looking to do what many on this thread have done - moving from Shimano GRX mech to SRAM eTap. I'm building a parts list and was wondering if @WayWayUp reused the GRX brake calipers and discs. The discs look like the GRX ones. Understanding I'll need new brifters, derailleur, cassette, chainring and chain minimum.
The GRX brake calipers are not compatible with SRAM. SRAM uses DOT 5.1 brake fluid and Shimano uses mineral oil brake fluid. No cross contamination is allowed and the brake lines need to be changed. You might be able to keep the rotors. Depending on how you buy the axs levers they may only come with the calipers.
