How to Set Up SRAM AXS Eagle with an 11-Speed Cassette

Question

Sure. To configure SRAM AXS Eagle with an 11-speed cassette, we first start by transforming the Eagle rear derailleur. Change the B-screw for cassette compatibility, adjust both limit screws to the required positions, and fit chain length as per BME. The chain should be similar to SRAM’s eight-fast link chain, hence the installation should be relatively simple.

Answer 1

For setting up SRAM AXS Eagle with an 11 speed cassette, the following parts are required, AXS shifter with the revised paddle, an XX1 derailleur (the spec level does not matter as there are practically only material changes), and an E13 11-speed cassette with 9 and 46T cogs. Because of this, you might have to reduce the size of your chainring (for instance from 32 to 30 teeth) in order to achieve a range similar to a 12-speed setup. As per the manufacturer's instructions, the derailleur should be installed according to bearer+20 X mark. Moreover, the limit adjustments should be set and the B adjust tool should be employed. For this setup, an 11 speed Shimano XTR XDR Dura-Ace chain is preferred.

Thanks for the content! That gives me hope to convert to this great rear derailleur, do you think it works with 10x? How many teeth has your cassette? 46?

---

Are you still running this setup? I'm curious if you had any long term issues? considering the last shift hits the limit screw, which I assume puts more wear on the servo.

so a little ghost shift and you’re good? Nice. I’m gonna try it. My set up now is 10-50 11 speed. Any tips on set up being different with it not being 12 speed? Thanks for the content

Could you set up the ghost shift on the 9t?

---

So XD 11s and XD 12s spacing between the cogs are the same for this to work?

---

so do you just setup as normal and it works ?
