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. SRAM Eagle tooth profiles are available for 12 speed SRAM drivetrains.
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.
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/transmission but doesn't work with Shimano 12 speed without SRAM quick link
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"
