Bigger Jockey wheels - What will the effect be?

Jenny Taylia

Hi.

As in the title, if i increase the size of my jockey wheels from 10 teeth std, to 11 teeth red cnc, what differences will I notice? (Other than the obvious bling factor ) Will it affect the gearing?

Also, are alloy jockey's detrimental to the chain, over the plaggie ones on the XTR's?

Fanx again (Probably Nicklouse )

you reduce the ability of the mech.

but I would recount the teeth as i think you have failed.

see . . . . . I thought it'd be you

Yep, you're right, I failed miserably (To count adequately) . . . . my XTR mech does indeed have 11 tooth jockeys! :roll:

Any news on the alloy over plastic and chain wear bit?

Out of interest, what does "The ability of the mech" mean? And what would be reduced?

thanks

I put KCNC jockys on my SRAM X0 after the stock ones were Fubar after 6 months.They've been on 2.5 years and show now signs of wear,haven't notice any detrimental effect on chain wear.
