Help!!
I am trying to upgrade my 2021 Q45 from NX 11 speed to AXS GX Eagle 12 speed, to my wife's annoyance. I am running into a problem with the RD hanger being a little too small for the AXS GX RD.
This picture shows the NX RD matching very snugly into the RD hanger.
These two pictures show that the AXS GX RD being slightly too big for the RD hanger. It can't go further into the bolt hole.
This picture shows the RD hanger, which shows a "sloped" and narrowing space into the hole. You can see a little scratch mark from the AXS GX RD on the upper side of the "slope."
My questions:
1. @Robert Holler I have the first edition of 2021 Q45. Has the RD hanger been updated so that it's a little bigger and can take the 12 speed AXS GX RD?
2. If no new updated RD hanger is available, is the next "nuclear option" possible?
I measured the diameter of the tab thingy that attaches the RD into the RD hanger hole. NX is 0.75 in. AXS GX is 0.78 in. So the radius difference is 0.015in. Can I either file the thingy on the AXS GX RD to make it smaller or should I file the RD hanger to make the space bigger?
3. Other possibilities??
Thank you thank you for your sage suggestions!!
