  • Today I installed a set of JRC Components "Hybrid Ceramic" derailleur pulley wheels (aka jockey wheels) on my Sram GX eagle drivetrain.... for science.
    Check them out here: www.amazon.com/dp/B09GBQ7QM1?...
    I'm really interested to see the long term quality on these parts and will post a follow up video later in the year. I am not affiliated with JRC in any way so this is purely my opinion and I will bring the truth to the people.

    Jrc pulleys are great. The hybrid ceramic bearings are sealed unlike every other affordable option

      Go to hear! I’ll run them for 6 months or so and then take them out and inspect them. Interested to see the results 👍

    In my experience, theyre great. Make sure to knock a punch dent into each side of the pully, or press it out and locktite it. This will negate any negative effects of these pulleys (the bearing walks out)

    Which jockey wheel is good plastic, rubber, aluminium,or alloy ?

    • @TheDustyDutchman
      @TheDustyDutchman  Před 6 měsíci

      Hard to say. Depends on application, manufacturer, quality of materials. In general it seems for mountain bikes that plastic and aluminum are most commonly used

      Haha only have a few rides on them so far. Most people who dislike them in the comments says they will fail at around 6 months so we’ll see. So far I can’t say they are any louder or better then stock pulleys but they look cool 🤷‍♂️

  • @TheLongRanger
    @TheLongRanger Před rokem +10

    Stick with the stock - these pulleys won't last a 1/10 of the life of just stock pulleys. The friction of the bearing is so negligible, as the pulleys aren't under direct load.

    • @TheDustyDutchman

    Ceramic bearings arent better than steel and how much they spin without load is irrelevant

    These are good, I dont know what this guys on...!?! But for low budget upgrades, they are fine, so long as your rear derailleur is set up correct these will last way longer than those stock spindles, protect your cassette and roll with way less resistance. This dudes a hater!?! 🤷‍♂️

      I also said they do what they claim and they look sick. The rest is just my subjective opinion other than the weight. The only actual negative thing I said was that the anodizing is wearing off. We clearly have a difference in opinion in what “trashing/hating” is lol
