Steel Idler Pulley Kit - Forbidden Druid/Dreadnought

A steel idler pulley for Forbidden Druid and Dreadnought that utilizes the stock mounting hardware. Our idler will last at least 3x as long as the stock alloy version and can easily be refreshed with a new chainring for $20.  

The idler pulley utilizes a SRAM/Bosh 16tooth e-bike chainring and an aluminum carrier, meaning that you can experiment with different aftermarket options. SRAM Eagle tooth profiles are available for 12 speed SRAM drivetrains but are out of stock currently.

Updated design included a solid lube bearing and retaining ring!

The complete kit: comes pre-assembled with steel chainring, stainless metric hardware, and bearing. 

The carrier: can also be purchased on its own and other chainrings can be sourced individually. The carrier includes screws but no bearing. 

So many options. Which one do I choose!

Most likely X-sync is the best option for you.

X-sync = Best chain retention and works with SRAM and Shimano 12/11 speed

X-sync 2 = Dialed with SRAM eagle but doesn't work with Shimano 12 speed

Connex = Quietest, but worse chain retention due to lack of narrow wide. Works great with Shimano 12 speed

FSA = less expensive and great performance 

Note on Shimano 12s compatibility: we recommend the Connex , FSA, or X-Sync option. X-Sync 2 requires a SRAM quick link.

A Note From Eric:

"I personally run Shimano XT 12 speed and have had no issues with premature chain wear. That being said the forged manufacturing method means that the chainring will take some time to break in and become silent. If you want silence over all else pick up a Connex version"
