Tange LR26-A-1 Dropout & Sram AXS Spec

I thought I’d drop this in the discussion because it took me a minute to get sorted. I, like many of you, opted for Tange LR26-A-1 dropouts for my most recent build.

I used a 1 generation old Red AXS group and when I adjusted my derailleur, I was maxed on micro adjustment and hitting all the gears by a very narrow margin. I researched Sram’s frame spec to find that the dropout is slightly outside of their parameters. Not a bid deal for mechanical groups but some of you may run into this issue with AXS.

Sram’s spec for measurement ‘t’ on thru axle road bikes is 3.5-5.5 mm and the Tange dropout is about 7.5 mm. It was a fairly easy measurement as the inside of the hanger plate is on the same plane as the surface that the end of the axle interfaces with. I faced the outside of my hanger down 2.5 mm to get back into the middle of the micro adjustment range.

Same issue and same solution with LR-28. I never looked into the specs though, just assumed I messed something up.

Yes I and Peter at Ceeway brought this up to Tange a while back with regards to the LR27 dropouts , which they did make a new hanger for it after a couple years , that will allow for use on the electric shifters. I had not heard of folks having trouble with electric shifting on the LR26 , seem you got a simple solution. But seems they need to look at LR26 as well.
