SRAM Rival XPLR E1 1x13, Derailleur collides with biggest cog

Hi all,
As the title says, when shifting to the largest cog the derailleur cage collides/rubs with/on the biggest cog until the gear shift is fully done.

My chain is cut at 118 links, according the manual for a chainstay lenght (axle to axle) of 425mm.

The micro adjust is already set to +18 of 23 possible steps. It’s right on the edge the other gears work ok. Increasing the micro adjust even more does help slightly but the other gears are noisy then.

What am I missing?

As far as I am aware the new XPLR groupsets with UDH direct mount does not have the old b-tension screw e.g.

What am I doing wrong?

Cannondale SuperX 3 vs Megamo West 03

Hi all,
I was kind of settled in to buy the Megamo West but I now have the chance to get the SuperX with a good discount, actually for 400€ less than the Megamo.

I was torn in between those two bikes before but the discount on the SuperX sounds… too good to ignore.

I will use the bike (in parallel to my road bike, which I don’t use in gravel) for gravel riding, longer distances > 150km, or also several day/week Bikepacking trips.

I am aware of the fact that the Megamo is more or less labeled as an andventure gravel bike and the SuperX isn’t.

What I like about the Megamo is the in frame storage and the fork mount options. I absolutely love the fact I don’t need a extra saddle bag for my multitool, mini pump / co2 cartridges or spare tube. I love to put my spares in the frame storage and leave it like that and have it there if I need it.

What I like about the SuperX is the look, the 1x13 Rival drivetrain (vs the 1x12 GRX DI2) and the fact that it has a much higher maximum weight limit. I dont really need the weight limit but I always have the thought in the back of my head that the higher weight limit is due to a better higher quality frame and maybe a better lifetime/less potential issues as a result of that.

What do you guys think? Is the 1x13 drivetrain a big advantage to the 1x12 GRX? Do you think the lifetime of the SuperX is in general superior to the Megamo based on the nearly 30kg higher weight limit?
