This is the fastest RD pulley system.

17TS & 17TR installation tips:

1, due to increased offset by the oversized pulley system, please make sure your RD and frame are aligned and calibrated correctly.

2, please check the length of your chain. Here is how to calculate, chain should be 10-20mm longer than the RD at 0 tension (shown as the picture below) when rests on the smallest chainring and smallest cog.

3, to lower the requirements for chain length and RD/frame alignment, we introduce the new 16T pulley system, 17TS and 17TR. Compare with 17T, the power saving would be lowered by about 0.2 watts but increasing chain stability and shifting speed.

Why replace derailleur pulley wheel

Firstly, porous spring position limit could adjust back tension largely, improve the weakness of original weak stretch, and make the up and down chain tension between guide wheel and cogs much more adequately.

Secondly, the contact tooth number or control tooth number between chain and cogs of rear derailleur 17T is more during gear shifting, it just like to pinch the middle and two sides of some sticks, the larger the control lever, the stronger the control power.

Lastly, after redesign the cage’s rotation curve, the distance between upper guide wheel and the cogs is improved.

Installation steps

1.Remove the rear derailleur pulley wheel cage: Remove a hex screw on the side of the base of the pulley wheel cage using a No. 2 hex wrench. (The original pulley wheel cage has been removed in the photo)

2.Remove the hex screw, take out of the original pulley wheel cage and spring. (The original pulley wheel cage has been removed in the photo)

3. 17T carbon fiber pulley wheel cage, you can see 8 holes, marked in 1 to 4 is tension adjustment hole, the other four for reduce weight. The default initial mounting is hole 2. (tension: 4>3>2>1)

4.Install the selected spring mounting holes at the spring pins. The stainless-steel shaft on the pulley wheel cage should be greased before installation.

5.Push the pulley wheel cage into the hole of rear derailleur.

6.Rotating pulley wheel cage, setting pulley wheel cage rebound limit screw block in the rear derailleur.

7.Push the pulley wheel cage fully into the base of the rear derailleur.

8.Insert the hex screw into the hole on the side of the base of the rear derailleur using the No. 2 hex wrench.

9.Tighten the screw.

10.Repeated rotation pulley wheel cage, confirm the rebound smoothly, the installation is complete.
