I use because that’s what came with my full xxsl pm group that I got a great deal at BTF and I would spend another $500ish for a crankset, but wish it was, that bunch of spacers is only to collect dirt and it’s a mess to be honest

Circling back - I did my first chainring swap today and it was as easy as reported using the sram tool. Easier than messing with chainring bolts. I’m still not a fan of having a new unique standard, maybe SRAM will expand to other cranks at some point. It seems like it’s a well thought out design, but the cost of the rings is a bit stupid.
I’m not seeing any online retailers with the SRAM threaded chainrings in stock, particularly 32T. Anyone have any luck?
At least in the EU area they seem to be available. See for example bike24 and r2.

Not a chain ring, but I ordered replacement Force eTap AXS D1 levers in April and I will likely receive a replacement in the beginning of September. To be fair, the LBS got sent a replacement lever, but it was the newer D2 version (the website had the wrong picture for the item).
When I got my bike a couple months ago, the 32 was showing out of stock at a lot of places, but my LBS was able to get one in a few days (along with the sl power meter which was also out of stock at most places). The rings I got are zero offset, not sure if those are more/less available than the 3mm offset versions.

Did you end up having to take the crankarm off the bike to get the chainring off using the SRAM chainring tool? It looks like that’s what they are recommending in the manual but curious on your real world experience?
Yes, the chainring comes off to the inside of the spider so the crank needs to be off the bike.
