If you get the stainless ones they're ok, the normal ones tend to seize up pretty quickly

Had some of the SS Tacx on my XT shadow mech for ages now, probably nearly a year...still going strong and cheaper than XT replacements

They're made of tougher plastic than Shimnano originals so last longer before going all Ninja throwing star, but seize up a bit easier.

I've had two pairs, they both siezed up after a couple of rides.

Does anyone know if they're any more reliable with ceramic bearings All the reviews i've rea are totally 50/50 on the SS ones....

cheers!

If (when) they sieze up you can easily pop the seals on the bearings and regrease them.

Stainless ones seem to need this less frequently.
