Hi there,

I’ve got myself a sram wide crankset. Do I need to add spacers for my XDR cassette to compensate for anything or can I just run it as normal?

Hello!

I’m currently building up a gravel bike and I’m going for a 2x system. I’ve already bought a crankset (Force WIDE 43/30). The frame I’m going for will require a clamp-on front derailleur hangar. I am able to get hold of a normal Force FD for a very good price, whereas the wide derailleur would likely be at retail price. Here’s where the question actually starts… Does anyone know if it’s possible/advised to get a FD hangar that would mean I could just use a normal FD for this set up? Or am I missing something about the wide derailleurs?

Any tips or tricks would be really appreciated! Thanks!
