Skott5 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Does anybody know which jockey wheels I need to get for a X0 derailleur. I also see that the truvativ replacements chainring sets are sold with the spider. Is it really necessary to get a new spider as well? KCNC will work fine and not to spendy. Stretch and Greybeard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted March 24, 2014 Share Just get any jockey wheel.. don't think matters too much. I have a pic of my xo when I replaced it... Yours looks brand new compared to mine lol Edited March 24, 2014 by Stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 24, 2014 Share and no. You don't need to get a replacement spider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted March 24, 2014 Share Now you see what I mean about my chainring when I replaced it.. if your chain is old then just ride it out.. You still have plenty miles... And slowly buy a new drivetrain over the next 3 or 4 months On a side note.. Any guesses which chainring gets the most use on my bike! gummibear, Spoke101 and nonky 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanpre44 Posted March 24, 2014 Share I got just under 4000km on my previous casette (replaced the chain once around 2000km). Replaced both these bits on Thursday before the ASG race. Discovered with a shock the the deraileur pulleys was stuffed (looked like the first pick), but the nice set of XT pulleys wasn't too expensive. All in think I spent about R550 (helps to still run on cheap 8-speed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted March 24, 2014 Share :eek: But how's that! That is why I like SRAM. That was still working right up till that point of wear (I had made a decision to ride that drivetrain out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodbadugly Posted March 24, 2014 Share I would replace as the chain and the jockey wheels.See how it runs. Then replace the rest as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted March 24, 2014 Share If your chain is already beyond the "replace now or else" limit but everything is still running and shifting smoothly, I would ride it into the ground and once it starts giving slippages on some gears or shift poorly, replace the whole lot (chain, cassette and chainrings) at the same time.

johanpre44 Posted March 24, 2014 Share A kcnc pair is like r250 XT pair was R170 at cycle lab, Chain and cassette made up the rest of the R550. I do like the KCNC ones, bling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi Pollard Posted March 24, 2014 Share Im doing sani in May month and wouldn't want to go there with an old stuffed up drivetrain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted March 24, 2014 Share Im doing sani in May month and wouldn't want to go there with an old stuffed up drivetrain... Ride it till may.. Buy the cassette and chain now... and shop around for the front chain rings in the next two months (there are deals to be made out there on those)... and then assess just before sani. I reckon you have enough mileage in there to complete your training and do sani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
