D Vader Posted April 10, 2014 Share I have tried my LBS and various other cycleshops around JHB, no spare jockey wheels for XX1 available.Cape Cycles say, 'Sorry, we are out of stock'Jammer om te hoor van jou k*k, so sad too bad. This is swak!Really, really pathetic!How can we support a local industry when they plan ahead like this?So what now? I will have to carry spares for all the wearable parts on my bike it seems.

Shangri la Posted April 10, 2014 Share Did they comment on when they were expecting the shipment to arrive? Kerrianne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 10, 2014 Share Can I say the obvious and mention that the jockey wheel shouldn't be that much different to a normal jockey wheel? It's just a roller wheel... doesn't perform any differently to the normal ones. Get a normal one and install it in its place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 10, 2014 Share Lol. Thought that may be the case. But honestly... would it be THAT much of a problem if you used a standard one in the interim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakkals. Posted April 10, 2014 Share The bigger the better, just look at the pro's bikes. all of them are running larger jockey wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted April 10, 2014 Share The wheels might be abnormally narrow to accommodate the 11-speed chain , maybe a 11-speed road RD jockey wheel might work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoBigBen Posted April 10, 2014 Share Isn't the standard 'excuse' at the moment 'they were all used up at Epic' so we wating for more stock to arrive? At least I have heard this regarding Shimano BB's and brake pads ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipV Posted April 10, 2014 Share I am still waiting for XO 2x10 chainring bolts. same story. I had one machined as a stop gap, but reckon it is time to get bolts from an online store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylark Posted April 10, 2014 Share http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/friction-facts-bigger-pulleys-really-are-more-efficient-37615/ So you save 0.49 watts from the reduced friction using bigger pulleys?Eeish not worth the effort and cost! They will be hard to find and very expensive, not to mention to get that full benefit of 0.49 watts you need to customize your RD cage to accept the really big 15t pulleys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Ruinaard Posted April 10, 2014 Share Don't worry you are not alone - there are no XTR jockey wheels to be had as well, cause the local agents, the cool thieves, haven't brought their shipment in. Its just amazing how i get glee out of ordering online every time, so they don't get any of my money. LazyTrailRider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
