The super-light titanium wheels combined with full ceramic bearings mean that these wheels spin a ridiculous amount faster and longer than stock jockey wheels.


Faster? Really? I'm pretty sure that the speed at which the chain travels through the rear mech determines how fast they spin.

I've seen some of these mounted in a stand and they really do spin a lot faster and longer than standard jockey wheels. Whether they'd make any appreciable difference when mounted on your bike on the other hand...

You can get titanium ceramic jockey wheels from Toronto cycles for a fraction of that price - look a damn sight cooler too!

EDIT: turns out I lied as they don't sell em any more.....

... But they do ti jockeys at $36 and ceramic bearings at $7.50
