I want to build up a bikepacking bike with SRAM transmission. Frame I'm planning to buy has boost rear wheel spacing, per SRAM this is supposed to have a 55mm chainline.
Choosing between these two SRAM cranks, I want a power meter:
I prefer the spindle power meter because I want more flexibility with chainrings. I would run a 40 or 42 for my area, which is fairly flat. On my other bike I have a 40t on GRX 1x and it's fine for here, but then I would go down to a 30-something for trips with steeper/more climbing.
The Force crankset seems to be significantly cheaper than the XX one, which I think is the equivalent level (and XX SL is equivalent to Red?).
From a post on this subreddit, SRAM's compatibility chart (kinda hard to read but I think that's what it's saying), and a post on SRAM's Instagram it seems that I can use Force 1 wide cranks with Transmission.
But SRAM says the Force 1 wide is 47.5mm chainline whereas Transmission wants 55mm. Am I missing something here, or is the 7.5mm difference here fine?
