How to install the SRAM Eagle XX1/X01 B Bolt Kit on the Eagle NX and GX Derailleur to Fix Play

Hack to fix the play by using the XX1 / X01 SRAM Eagle B-bolt kit on the NX or GX 12 speed derailleur. The upgraded kit uses a bolt with a bushing rather than just a solid bolt and should last longer.

Wow, this totally fixed the cage wobble on my GX derailleur. And as an FYI, the part number for XX/XO AXS B-bolt kits works as well. The mechanical XX/XO kits were not available, so I gambled on the AXS, as that was all I could find. No issues whatsoever. Thanks!

@HOllyBOni 5 ай бұрын

I just ordered an X01 AXS bolt kit (11.7518.092.001) and it did not fit my mechanical GX Eagle lunar derailleur properly. The bushing is a bit wider than the derailleur itself (like 0.5-1mm), so even with the bolt tightened down, I could slide the derailleur side to side. It's a bit of a hack, but I filed the bushing down a bit and it fits fine now.

@@TonyHob it stands the test of time. Over 1500 miles on my GX since the bolt upgrade and the derailleur doesn't have any play whatsoever. My wife, who's a fairly conservative rider, wore out the mounting bolt on her NX Eagle within 8 months to the point where shifting could no longer be dialed in across the entire cassette range. I replaced her B-bolt the same time I did my GX (or the other way around - my shifting was sloppy but tolerable, but I researched the problem when we considered trashing her derailleur). She doesn't ride as much as I do, maybe 1/3, but same outcome. Zero play.

My new GX derailleur didn't last very long at all before it developed play in it, yes I ride through the Wet muddy UK winter, which doesn't help any of the Drivetrain components, and yes I do maintain my Bikes. Hard to find stock at the moment of this part, I ended up buying one from the US which made it even more expensive than it should have been. Thanks for your video, it helped me out 👍👍

Appreciate the videos. I took off my GX derailleur which has been working fine to upgrade to the AXS GX kit. The GX AXS derailleur also uses this new style of bushing so that’s nice it has the upgraded piece (it better for an expensive drivetrain!). When taking off my original lunar GX mech the split ring came out along with some other washer. I thought this was some metal shard that sheared off the bolt and tossed it. Oops so I may need to buy the $10 B-bolt GX kit or spend for the $30 for xx1 bushing kit if I ever sell the GX mech or go back to it..

This worked for me as well, thank you! The crazy thing is, the new b-bolt is pretty sloppy in the sleeve, probably worse than the original b-bolt in the derailleur body. The improvement is probably just from mashing the o-rings in there which would explain the new pivot friction. It makes me wonder if you can just jam an o-ring in the stock b-bolt assembly somewhere and get the same result.

The limiting plate of the NX/GX is completely flat where is slides alongside the derailleur. However, the XX1/X01 limiting plat has a curve at the end which appears to push against the derailleur when using the the larger cogs and creates a slight bow. I'm not sure if this is enough to affect long term wear, but I'm considering flattening the side of the XX1 limiting plate to prevent this. I only have an NX and GX derailleur, so I don't know if the XO1 /XX1 has a different design to accommodate this.

Hi, great advice. I installed that on my NX. Though I had one issue. At 06:35 you are installing the "hook" of the bbolt kit. At my kit that hook came in 2 parts: hook and the metallic-tooth-washer that was bit wider than the socket. On your movie the washer is already in place (socket). Did yours came in parts and if so, how did you manage to join them? Finally I have just mount the the derailleur bolt with the hanger and by this the washer was squeezed into socket...though not evenly :/ (sorry if my tech English is not clear)

@TonyHob 3 жыл бұрын

My bracket, or "hook", is only one piece and it snaps onto the bolt. I don't think it makes any difference if is is 2 pieces. As long as the derailleur is working once mounted you should be good. The washer on my bolt was already in place too. Try using a small amount of grease on the rubber washer/seal so it seats better into it's socket when you mount it. It sounds like your kit is a little different than this one but should still work.

This works in the SX one?

Thanks for letting us know. I hope you find a good solution.

I find it difficult to understand why any play should develop in this bolt, as there shouldn't be any movement here (other than when you adjust b-tension of course). As far as I can see, the only reason for the derailleur to rotate around this bolt would be if the spring in the clutch assembly isn't capable of holding the chain tight, and that the entire derailleur is free to rotate backwards before the chain slack is taken up by the spring. If so, I'd say that this is a design flaw that SRAM should correct asap.

What happened to the larger red O-Ring ? Where does it go or was it not used?

@@TonyHob I watched 3x and yeah just caught it and was about to delete my question but you already got to it. Thanks for your prompt reply, much appreciated. Still struggling to get my split ring off my NX... seems almost impossible even with dental picks !
