SRAM Road AXS | How to: Install a Spindle-based Power Meter

We’ve hidden the power measurement unit inside the DUB spindle, adding just 40 grams to your bike. Using left side power to calculate total watts, this upgrade lets you stealthily gather the data to meet your goals. It’s fully waterproof for even the greasiet of gravel rides, and it’s available in a Wide spindle for compatibility with the widest of mixed-terrain tires.

1. Use an 8 mm Hex wrench to loosen the drive side crank arm counterclockwise.
2. Remove the chain from the chainring.
3. Remove drive side crank from the crank spindle.
4. Using a rubber mallet, tap the crank spindle from the drive side and remove from the non-drive side.
5. Pick up the spindle-based power meter.
6. Use a brush and waterproof grease, and apply the grease to the spindle.
7. Install the spindle-based power meter into the bottom bracket from the non-drive side.
8. Install the drive side crank arm onto the crank spindle and tighten clockwise with 8 mm Hex wrench.
9. Use an 8 mm torque wrench to tighten clockwise to 54N-m.
10. Put the chain back on the chainring.
11. Turn the preload ring clockwise until you feel it contact the bearing.
12. Tighten the pinch bolt using a 2 mm Hex wrench.
13. Put protective power meter cap on.
14. Set up the spindle-based power meter in the AXS app.
15. In the AXS App, press Connect to pair the power meter and add to your bike.

I never knew bike ASMR was something I needed but now I need more videos like this lmao

[ticktracktack]

Is there a way to see "from outside" - before disassembly the crank - if the bike has a dub or dub wide spindle?

[muddytweed]

If you’re having difficulties screwing in the tensioner - make sure you have the right spindle, it comes in normal and wide variants.

need a how to change battery video
on the new xo crank with power meter

[RekaRoams]

As a lady putting in the Quark cranks, have no idea how to get the 54nM bolt undone…. Broom handle lever didn’t work 😂😭😭

[berndehmann]

keep attention! Check the length of the By mine was the difference 5mm. So you will need distance spacer!!!

I have the Force, where can I get the spindle power meter? What is the item number?

[AngusKingon]

Hi, my upgrade came with two small washers - can you tell me what these are for?

[zigakemperle]

Hello. I currently have a SRAM Force 1 DUB Wide Crank installed. I'm wondering if the drive side is compatible with the SRAM Rival DUB Wide AXS Quarq Powermeter Upgrade?

[Beenn]

Hello, is this going to work with the new sram red crancks ? Thanks

[frankpeter]

Any chance of a 50/37 tooth chainring being available in the near future for SRAM Rival AXS crankarms?

[marcinwatroba]

When I tighten the screw with the designated power (54 N-m), it is very difficult to move it. Am I doing something wrong? I have Rival

[ColinHayes-kn]

How important is it to grease the entire crank spindle as opposed to just the ends of the spindle nearest the bearings?

[rafaeladi]

Is Sram AXS shifter cross compatible? Can i have Force shifter but red derailleur?

[msumacc]

I have a Rival group set, but nothing with etap. Is etap required for this to work? Will this sync to a garmin 520?

[stevesfitnessjourneybikean]

I just bought a bike with sram rival and it has the power meter already fitted, but I need shorter cranks. Do I need to buy the power meter again or can I use the power meter from the current cranks?

[soonyoungkwon]

I have a question about power meter. Is it possible to use that one to my revolt adv pro 1 ?? My creank set is SRAM Rival D1 DUB, 30/43 wide version. Could you check it is possible or not ?? Thanks.

[KN-vlnk]

Is it normal to have to adjust shifting after this install?

I noticed some slight rasping in the cassette after. I would think everything would stay perfectly aligned.

[artoutlawphoto]

do they come in bb30 also. I have the force 22 carbon in bb30.

[benjaminking]

SRAM pls make this whole thing a lot LESS subtle. The fact that the 10mm cap needs to be left in place then the 8mm inner backed out against it to get the drive crank off is NOT obvious at all and wasted a lot of my time. Also the fact that no references or printed manual in the box of the upgrade DUB crank. Spoils what otherwise should be a revolutionary product in terms of price and simplicity. I had to contact support etc bc of this silent video with no explanatory text etc.
