What's that saying about polishing a turd? I will take a look at the top jockey and see if I can get it spinning nicely on its bearings but the cage is soft so nothing i can do about the flex. It may be a tight/loose fit on installation as well as there's no precision manufacturing methods in display here. If i can get it spinning and it actually fits I'll give it a try but if its no good it'll go straight in the bin and I shall be filled with bitterness and resentment for the rest of my life.

This turned up today so it's not on the bike yet but first impressions are cack. I'm really disappointed with it. The top jockey wheel spins worse than my old stock one and it twists in my hands like it's made of cheese and the cage is roughly finished just cut out with no smoothing or sealing the edges. I'll fit it and give it a go but i don't have high hopes. It may well be in the bin in a couple of weeks. Anyone else DO NOT waste 80 quid on one of these. At least the delivery was good taking 2 weeks exactly and the ETA was first week of April.
