Rans Stratus XP
Works great on my Rans Stratus XP. Very quiet- - better than OEM.

Rans V3 idler kit
So far so good. Good quality, easy installation.

Thanks to T-Cycle I’m rolling again
The original donut chain idler split into several pieces. Placed my order online and had the vastly superior part in no time. Can’t say enough positive things about their customer service!! A few years back I learned about chains and South Louisiana climate. Yup the recumbent chain rusted nearly solid.. Same great products and service then as now!!

the peddling efforts become smoother. Somehow, it feels more efficient.

Rans Stratus XP Improvement
Works great. Very similar to the stock idler, but an overall better design for the bracket. I like that the chain keeper is able to pivot on its own, instead of being welded to the bolt on the stock setup.
