V3 updated design! All idler kits come with the Finesse components "Race Guide" as a bonus.
A modular steel idler pulley kit for Forbidden Druid and Dreadnought and Norco Shore and Rang 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 $10-$20.
The idler pulley utilizes a SRAM/Bosh 16 or 18 tooth e-bike chainring and an steel and aluminum carrier, meaning that you can experiment with different aftermarket options.
The complete kit: comes pre-assembled with steel chainring, stainless metric hardware, mounting hardware and bearing.
The carrier: can also be purchased on its own and other chainrings can be sourced individually. The carrier includes mounting hardware, O-rings and bearing.
Most likely X-sync is the best option for you.
We have tested all options and concluded that the x-sync option works best with all drivetrain versions, including SRAM Transmission. If you must have the x-sync 2 or some other option, the carrier-only option is still available.
A Note From Eric:
"I've 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 or FSA chainring aftermarket"
