Who has any experience with the new SRAM T-Type chain on any other chainring?
Is there a chainring you have working?
Does it work very well?
As you can see below, the new chainring teeth are .13mm narrower That means the T-type chain will rub on the old chainring teeth for a while until it wears thinner.
FYI:
2018-2022 SRAM Eagle Narrow-Wide Chainring Widths
Narrow - 1.93mm
Wide - 3.53mm
2023+ T-Type SRAM Narrow-Wide Chainring Widths
Narrow - 1.8mm
Wide - 3.4mm
Keep in mind: The length of a bicycle chain link has NOT changed in 50+ years.
Keep in mind: The new T-type cassettes sit 2.5mm further out than SRAM Eagle Lunar cassettes. the Chain-line changed.
And yes... there will be that guy who says, "why do you gotta be a cheap-wad. just buy it all."
I could buy a dozen grouppos of any kind. Many folks can. This is not about money. This is about chainring options and controlling chain-line (52 and 55 and anything else)
LoveMTB says earlier chainrings work 'with a bit of caution'. (see 9min 16seconds)
