Sorry to ask this, but I’m kind of new to this and I’m not exactly getting wiser reading up on it.
sram say:
## Where would ‘Wide’ be needed?
Road Wide cranksets are required in the following situations:
* If your bicycle specifies a 47.5 mm chainline.
* If using SRAM Eagle Transmission on a gravel or road bike.
* If using 43/30T crankset: Our 43/30T crankset comes as fitted with the Road Wide spindle.
* Please note, that a Wide specific front derailleur will be required for Wide spindles.
I’ve so far got a sram force axs etap derail, brakes and all that. but refrained to get the crank since I wasn’t sure. So tried to read up on this but didn’t really get wiser. So I’m asking here:
The frame doesn’t specify anything. Or I am not reading it right?
I’m not using sram eagle, but I am considering using this pulley:

I plan to run an 1x setup.
The frames I have been looking at is this two:

and

Any idea? 🙂

You probably do not need wide for your 1x setup if not using a rear setup like Eagle Transmission that requires it. If you wanted to go 2x and fit something like 45mm 700c tires, then you would likely need to go with wide.
No. The bb on those frames is 68mm. If you run a wide spindle you’ll have to run spacers at the bb since they’re meant for 73mm bb.
