FAQ

Does my frame need a UDH to run the GX Eagle T-Type derailleur?

Yes. The Hangerless Interface mounts around the wheel axle in place of a derailleur hanger, so the frame must be built to the Universal Derailleur Hanger standard. If your frame uses a conventional bolt-on hanger, this derailleur will not fit.

Do I need to set limit screws or B-gap on a T-Type derailleur?

No. Because the derailleur mounts to the axle and references the cassette directly, there are no limit screws and no B-gap adjustment. Setup follows the standard AXS pairing procedure and the position is determined by the mount itself.

Can I use the GX Eagle T-Type derailleur with my existing Eagle AXS cassette and chain?

No. T-Type derailleurs work only with Eagle Transmission cassettes and Flattop T-Type chains. Standard Eagle AXS and mechanical Eagle cassettes and chains are not compatible, so moving to T-Type means changing the cassette and chain together.

What can be repaired on this derailleur instead of replaced?

The protective skid plates and the two-piece outer link are replaceable, and the cage and clutch assembly can be removed without tools. That means an impact that would normally write off a derailleur can often be fixed with parts instead.

Does it come with a battery?

No. The AXS battery and the AXS Pod controller are both sold separately. If you already run AXS you can share a battery across components, but a first AXS build needs one added.

Best For

Trail and enduro riders on UDH-equipped frames who want Eagle Transmission shifting under load, and who value a derailleur that can be rebuilt with replaceable skid plates and outer link rather than thrown away after a rock strike.
