Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, follow these guidelines for your SRAM Rival XPLR derailleur:
- Installation: Secure the derailleur to the hanger, ensuring proper torque according to manufacturer specifications.
- Battery Pairing: Since the battery is not included, ensure you have a charged SRAM AXS battery available. Insert the battery and use the AXS button to pair the component with your shifters and head unit.
- Compatibility: This unit is specifically designed for the XPLR 10-44 cassette. Mixing it with other cassette ranges may lead to poor shifting performance.
- Maintenance: Periodically clean the X-SYNC pulleys of dirt and grit to maintain efficiency. Ensure the b-gap is set correctly using the official SRAM setup tool to guarantee crisp shifting.
