Fitur konci:

• Kompatibilitas 12-Kagancangan: Specifically designed for SRAM Eagle 12-speed drivetrains.
• Flowlink Design: Reduces friction and wear on outer plates for smoother, quieter operation and extended chain life.
• PowerLock Connecting Link: Provides a non-reusable, secure, and easy-to-install connection.
• Recessed Chain Rivet Contact Area: Ensures ultra-high joining strength and zero pin protrusion for reliable performance.
• Optimized for X-Sync 2 Chainrings: Engineered to work seamlessly with SRAM X-Sync 2 chainrings for precise chain retention and shifting.

Setup sareng Instalasi

Proper installation of your SRAM X01 Eagle Chain is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Always refer to the detailed instructions provided with your SRAM Eagle drivetrain components for specific chain length and routing guidelines.

Alat anu diperyogikeun:

• Chain breaker tool (12-speed compatible)
• Chain length calculator or existing chain for reference
• Chain pliers (for PowerLock removal, if needed)
• Clean rags and degreaser
• Bicycle chain lubricant

Léngkah-léngkah pamasangan:

1. Nangtukeun Panjang Ranté: Wrap the new chain around the largest chainring and largest cog, bypassing the rear derailleur. Add two full links (one inner and one outer plate) to this length. For full suspension bikes, compress the suspension to its sag point before determining length.
2. Cut Chain to Length: Use a chain breaker tool to carefully remove excess links. Ensure you cut at an outer plate to allow for the PowerLock connecting link.
3. Rutekeun Ranténa: Thread the chain through the front derailleur (if applicable, though X01 is 1x), around the chainring, through the rear derailleur cage, and around the cassette. Ensure it is correctly seated in all guide pulleys.
4. Install PowerLock: Bring the two ends of the chain together. Insert the PowerLock connecting link from the back side of the chain, ensuring the arrow on the PowerLock points in the direction of chain rotation.
5. Secure PowerLock: Pull the chain taut to engage the PowerLock. You may need to apply firm pressure to the pedals or rear wheel while holding the brake to fully seat the link. A distinct "click" indicates proper engagement.
6. Lubricate: Apply a suitable bicycle chain lubricant to all chain rollers. Wipe off any excess lubricant from the outer surfaces.

Operasi

The SRAM X01 Eagle Chain is designed for seamless integration with SRAM Eagle 12-speed drivetrains, providing precise and efficient power transfer. Its Flowlink technology contributes to quiet operation and smooth shifting under load.

Shifting Performance:

• Always shift gears smoothly and avoid excessive force on the pedals during shifts, especially under heavy load.
• Anticipate terrain changes to shift proactively, maintaining a consistent cadence.
• The chain's design, combined with X-Sync 2 chainrings and Eagle cassettes, minimizes chain drop and ensures crisp gear changes.

Kasaluyuan:

This chain is specifically engineered for SRAM Eagle 12-speed drivetrains. Using it with non-12-speed or non-Eagle components may result in suboptimal performance, increased wear, or damage to your drivetrain.

Pangropéa

Regular maintenance extends the life of your SRAM X01 Eagle Chain and ensures consistent performance. A clean and well-lubricated chain reduces friction, wear on other drivetrain components, and improves shifting.

beberesih:

1. Frékuénsi: Clean your chain after every ride, especially in wet or dirty conditions.
2. Gelarasing: Apply a bicycle-specific degreaser to the chain. Use a chain cleaning tool or a brush to agitate the dirt.
3. Bilas: Rinse the chain thoroughly with water to remove all degreaser and loosened grime. Ensure no degreaser residue remains.
4. Pangeringan: Dry the chain completely with a clean rag. Water left on the chain can lead to rust.

Lubrication:

1. Aplikasi: Apply a drop of high-quality bicycle chain lubricant to each roller of the chain.
2. penetrasi: Allow the lubricant to penetrate for a few minutes.
3. Kaleuwihan Lap: Spin the cranks backward several times, then wipe off all excess lubricant from the outside of the chain with a clean rag. Excess lubricant attracts dirt.

Inspeksi jeung ngagantian:

• Regularly inspect the chain for signs of wear, such as stiff links, rust, or damage.
• Use a chain wear indicator tool to check for chain stretch. Replace the chain when it reaches 0.5% wear for 12-speed systems to prevent premature wear of your cassette and chainring.
• The PowerLock connecting link is designed for single use. Always use a new PowerLock when reinstalling a chain or replacing a worn one.
