• I thought the point of NW was so the chainring didn't throw the chain so easily.

    What's the point of having it on jockey wheels which are surrounded by a cage?

    Its a good question. I dont think there's any logical answer.

    Up until 12 speed eagle sram used NW teeth on both jockey wheels.
    But the top jockey wheel would sometimes go out of sync with the chain making it feel rough. Changing gears down then back up the cassette would fix it.

    But now on 12 speed eagle the top jockey wheel doesn't have the NW profile but the bottom one does.
    But why? I've yet to find a good answer.
