Do Ceramic Pullies Help

For all sram mtb rear derailleurs short or long cage 10 or 11 or 12 speed mechanical or etap select the all road bike pulleys button bar.

That doesn t mean they re packed with engines and gears. In part one of this post we analyzed oversized pulley systems and their effect on friction and shifting. Increasing chain length sram introduced their new eagle mountain bike group set last summer and it sure is another game changer.

A pulley is simply a collection of one or more wheels over which you loop a rope to make it easier to lift things. That means there s more cantilever force the derailleur has to overcome in order to shift from one cog to another.
