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?
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 have kcnc on all my bikes in ceramic and they are so good.
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.
Thumbs up for kcnc as well.2 yrs and no significant wear!!
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.
Cheers Biffer 🙂
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.
