Just bought a pair of these in silver for my Sram X0 rear mech. Anybody had a pair and how good are they?

not sure - but I'd buy them too, when my xo jockeys wear out. the kcnc ones aren't much more are they?
incidentally, how long did your sram ones last?Posted 2 years ago # -
They have lasted around 14 months I would say. Thats with hitting the trails hear and there and riding my bike everywhere I go, work, shops, everywhere. (everday basically)
They still have a bit of life left in them and I am only replaceing them as I have bought a new cassette and chain for my new bike. So thought it would be best to replace the old ones to make the whole system run n'synce.
They are the best I have seen so far after hunting around for a pair for the last two weeks.

I got a set of the gold ones for the X0 rear mech on my trail bike nearly 2 years ago for a bit of added bling and have not had any issues with them. They look better than the sram one’s, they are lighter & they are still in good nick.

2 years, thats real good usage. They nicely add the bling factor too.

Did they come with different wheels for top and bottom as the "normal" top jockey wheel on a Shimano mech has a few mm of float in it?

6 months 7 over the winter they have been exellent so are clee cycles.

To answer mhuk - both jockey wheels come with the same float unlike the Shimano ones but I didn't notice any difference in shifting on my mech.

I may have to get some at one point or another. Still lots of wear left on the originals though ;-(

mine have been pretty good and have been ridden through some fairly nasty stuff over the winter.
