    They dont clog with mud. more space for it to clear from. Had mine a couple of weeks and lots of folks have noticed them. I also got gold chainring bolts at the same time

  • haha...

    mine were here but they were stuck inside the letter box!

    ooh... just fitted em. gave me a chance to re-index my gears too. wheels feel VERY smooth and look ace. will post a pic when the missus comes home cos she's got the camera.

    pimp-tabulous.

  • both of my wheels were the same, but the ones i took off said upper and lower.

    having been out and done a few km's i cant say it matters which way up you put them, they're identical.

  • the TOP one should float and the bottom should be fixed.. so both being the same is odd....

  • yeah the old one floated - but both of these are fixed. no problems at all with gear changes. i feels smoother but i think thats just because i re-did my gears at the same time

    try them

    had red chainring bolts for a while... got some blue middleburn self extracting crank bolts. couple of gold headset spacers, green jockey wheels now, and a gold hope bolted seat clamp on its way...

    all started off with anodised red club roost bars and ends.... this penchant for shiny colours might get expensive!

    I actually think the non floating top jocky makes the shifts a bit crisper as it derails the chain faster as less slack. Certainly when I swapped mine I didnt change chain or re-index and the gear changes are much crisper now (old jockeys were not worn badly either)

    Yep, Also have gold KMC chain!, didnt get gold spiders on the hope disks but may have to get a gold headset. Managed to get a few lighteweight gold anodised caliper bolts as well. But debating if to change them cos the current ones are all titanium

  • they make em for sram mechs too according to the kcnc website. might see if i can track some down. do sram have floating rollers too? gold jockey's on an x9 mech would look a bit spesh. :)
