Thought i had to let you all know that i bought one of these super blingy jockey wheels from an ebay shop in China. I know, alarm bells should've been ringing but i thought sod it, as they only cost £8.75 a piece posted!
The only downside is the delivery time, if you take the standard (free) postage option it says they can take up to 30 days to arrive, but i got mine today, and it just over 2 weeks
So long as you're not in a major rush to get one i'd highly advise using this place as not only are they good value but you also get some decent communication.

Am I right in thinking you can't use these on the SRAM X7s? Looks like I'm gonna have to upgrade for the sake of some £8 bling....0

Blimey! wish i'd been in the market for em back then They are one of the kinda sweet looking finishing touches aren't they? Just a shame that most of it is covered by the cage
Not sure i'll bother with the higher one of the two wheels, you really wouldn't see that one!Am I right in thinking you can't use these on the SRAM X7s? Looks like I'm gonna have to upgrade for the sake of some £8 bling....
I think so mate, think its just a case of how many teeth they have. IIRC if you have a butchers at the link, there's info on each listing about compatibility. I'm 100% sure you can get them for SRAM though
One of the slickest things you can upgrade for £8 in my book. Go forth and pimp my friend!

the top one is quite visible despite the cage, more so through the wheel than from the outside, but they do look good!!! 8) 8)Timmo.

Holy flying poo-poo! They are nearly £40 for a pair on ready to ride now. I bought the gold ones a few months back for about half that (from the same place).
Why such a massive price hike?
I notice the chainring bolts have almost doubled in price too.0 -
dont forget they come as sealed bearings OR ceramic! the ceramic ones were 30 when mine were 15 the pair (clee-cycles.co.uk) but they have all gone up as anything thats imported has!!Timmo.

Make sure that the top jockey wheel has a bit of float if you're going to use it on a Shimano mech - the top jockey wheel can move slightly from side to side (if you imagine looking down on it) to help with indexing.
Besides that...Anodised jockey wheels? Really? I thought they went out with coloured spline drive spoke nipples.0 -

The man's got a point! but your're talking to someone who runs anodised brake levers a la the early 90's.Santa Cruz Chameleon

totally understand the point mate, i suppose bike pimpage is one of those quite personal things,like fashion. What one person may think is a bit cheesy, another may think is the best thing they've ever seen... saying that, you should see my wardrobe! :P0 -
Do you get 1 for that price?0

You cannae hardly see the jockey wheels anyway!
I think standard ones last longer than alu.0
