Zula Posted June 29, 2009 Share Hi All, Im considering getting some of that KCNC stuff for my MTB steed. In paticular skewers, jockey wheels and a seat clamp. Is there any added benefit to the parts (Besides the possible 2 grams of weight) or is it all just bling??? Also is there anyone who had bad experiences with any of the components?? Feel free to mention anything u think id like to know. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101SCC Posted June 29, 2009 Share Brilliant stuff at a Reasonable Price, Jockey Wheels don't last as long as Factory Fitted Stuff, but the skewers are brilliant and the seat clamp does what a seat clamp should do... PM Scratch, he is super sold on KCNC stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat Posted June 29, 2009 Share Functional bling. The jockey wheels may or may not last as long as the originals, but they are a tad cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zula Posted June 29, 2009 Share Will the jockey wheels wear the chain out faster?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted June 29, 2009 Share They shouldn't, there's not much load on them as they're just idlers. They can be a bit noisy if you don't keep them well lubed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zula Posted June 29, 2009 Share thanks droo, noisier than the std shimano ones?? do they require extra TLC? I normally lube the current ones when i was the bike on ave once a week. that gonna suffice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philippe484 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Nice looking stuff an if its cheaper why not - but original is probly better!Surely there are geeks out there with lots of pertinent info but in my experience the guys who designed the stuff got it right, eventualy.

I normally lube the current ones when i was the bike on ave once a week. that gonna suffice? [/quote'] They're metal, so they will make a bit more noise. And once a week should be fine, just bear in mind they look cool, but don't last forever. But nothing does, except hangovers and friday afternoons at work.

splat Posted June 29, 2009 Share I am building up my bling kit:Red Jockey Wheelsred jockey wheel boltsred chainring boltsred bottle cage boltsred casette lockring Not going for headset or spacers or bar end plugs or bar ends though. The skewers seem a bit lightweight for my mtb. I will hold out for some 2009 red Hopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
