WHEELTOP For EDS TX Carbon Fiber Ceramic Bearings pulley wheel cage upgrade kit WHEELTOP TX
OSPW
The reviewer discusses the WHEELTOP TX Carbon Fiber Ceramic Bearings pulley wheel cage upgrade kit in detail, focusing on its design, functionality, and performance. They highlight its oversized pulley wheel system with an 18-tooth tension pulley and 11-tooth guide pulley, ceramic bearings, and carbon fiber construction. The reviewer explains how the larger pulley reduces chain articulation and friction, potentially making the drivetrain quieter and more efficient. They also mention the aesthetic appeal of the product, including its 'outer space' look and multicolor light-reflecting decal. The reviewer tested the product on a Wheeltop TX rear derailleur and attempted to fit it on Shimano derailleurs with some modifications.

- Reduces chain articulation and friction
- Ceramic bearings in both top and bottom jockey wheels
- Carbon fiber construction
+6 more
Cons
