Works great: Cassettes and ratchets

Good value, EZ setup, performs better than regular O-ring gear, looks great, handles very well. Feel good about buying this device!

Pros
  • Sports and Recreation
Cons
  • Available in white only

A very simple setup to switch to a speed.

Works as described. Feels like a quality item. Makes converting a geared bike to a single speed very easy if your rear hub is a cassette type.

Pros
  • Cycling
Cons
  • Nothing

Serves its purpose but could be done better.

Not bad for $25, but the idler pulley is cheap and adds a decent amount of gear noise. It should also add more tension than it does. Useful but needs improvement.

Pros
  • Sport
Cons
  • weak

Works great on classic Shimano Exage hubs

Universal but may require an additional seal

This has worked great for me so far, but I had to replace one of the spacers with a slightly thicker one from an old cassette to fit my 11 speed hub properly. The original seemed to have the snap ring sticking too quickly, but it would probably be fine. I'm looking forward to changing the sprockets, but haven't tried it yet

Pros
  • Transmission Components
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Its worth it! Just a set of spacers I will buy

To be honest they can seem too deadly compared to the regular spacers you see the beauty is worth it. I have the perfect chain line with this set compared to the other one I bought here at Revain. The only thing I had was that when using the 1/2 link chain the chain stuck perfectly between the frame and the outer purple spacer which was a bit of a bitch to remove. It was my fault and I gained chain length instead of riding. These colored spacers are actually made for a specific purpose, let's…

Pros
  • Cassettes and ratchets
