Fitting SRAM AXS to a 2019 Specialized Diverge Sport Frame

Thinking of swapping out the existing 105 groupset for SRAM AXS Rival, but unclear on whether I need the standard Rival chainset and front mech or the wide one?

Anyone made the change?

The existing frame has a Praxis Alba chainset with a 147mm Q factor.

AXS comes with two options:

1. Rival standard spindle cranksets = 145mm Q Factor

2. Rival wide spindle cranksets = 150mm Q Factor

How do I tell if I need the wider one and possible a wider reach front mech?

Can’t answer your enquiry, but I have a brand new Rival AXS xplr groupset here removed from my Crux Expert if of any use?  It came with Dub wide cranks and BB, but not sure if that’s to get over the Crux wide chainstays and how that would be different on the Diverge.

Sadly I've just ordered a Rival groupset (non wide version) and will just see if it fits....
