Fine-tuning

To further optimize shift performance or eliminate unwanted rasping sounds, adjust the rear derailleur trim position using MicroAdjust™. This feature compensates for the subtle variations that can occur at the hub. For best results, you'll want to check the shifting performance while riding the bike so the suspension is in the sagged, riding position.

Tech Tip: Less is more. MicroAdjust one click at a time until performance is optimized.

Ready for anything

In addition to your trusty multi-tool, bring along an Eagle Transmission PowerLock and a chain tool just in case. The PowerLock that holds your chain together is designed for a single use only. Plus, a new PowerLock will get you home or to your nearest bike shop, regardless of what happens out there.

Carrying a spare CR2032 battery (and a coin to open the battery department) gives you the confidence to head out for that long ride even if you forget to check your battery status before you leave and a shifter battery dies mid-ride.

Tech Tip: SRAM AXS batteries are compatible across the AXS Ecosystem, so you can use the same battery for your Reverb AXS as your Eagle AXS rear derailleur. (Which also means you can swap the battery out of your Reverb AXS if your derailleur battery dies.)
