Description

These pulleys will compliment your Sram 1x11 speed derailleur.

The 14 tooth bottom pulley causes the chain to articulate less on every rotation, which results in reduced friction.

Compatible with:

Sram 11 speed X-Horizon derailleurs.

Stock pulleys come with cross seals only. If you want a set with road seals for your 1x road or tri bike, reach out via the 'Need Help?' button at the bottom of your screen and we will build them to order.

BOLT ON SPEED. INSTALL IN MINUTES

  1. Remove the Old Pulleys: Shift to the smallest cog, remove the rear wheel for better access, and use Allen keys to remove the bolts securing your current pulleys.
  2. Set Up Your New Pulleys: Check the directional arrows on your Kogel Pulleys for correct orientation and attach them to your derailleur cage, starting with the lower pulley.
  3. Align and Secure: Properly align the new pulleys within the derailleur. Use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts to the recommended settings.
  4. Check and Adjust: Reinstall the rear wheel, manually run the chain to ensure smooth movement, and adjust as needed for clean operation over the pulleys.
  5. Test Ride: Conduct a short test ride to ensure everything functions correctly, listening for any unusual sounds and verifying smooth shifting across all gears.

What warranty does Kogel offer for their ceramic derailleur pulleys?

How can I tell if my derailleur pulleys need servicing?

Periodically check the bearings in your pulley wheels, especially after wet or muddy rides. Remove the dust covers, wipe away any dirt or contaminated grease and see if the bearings spin freely.

The bearing will fall somewhere between these three conditions::

  1. Clean - feels like it’s spinning effortlessly in fresh grease
  2. Dirty - feels like it’s spinning with some grit in the grease
  3. Dry - feels like it’s spinning effortlessly, but it’s making more noise than usual

If they feel gritty, here is a link to the best practice in pulley service.

A good habit to develop is cleaning your pulleys each time you clean your chain. While you are cleaning your chain, use the same degreaser and a rag or cotton swabs to clean off your pulleys; and hit the chain rings while you’re at it.

Remember: a clean bike is fast bike.

Can ceramic pulleys fit all types of bikes?

While they wide wide compatibility, it's crucial to check specific sizes and configurations for your bike's drivetrain system.
