The long life built into this kit ensures that your chainline will be optimized from the first ride to the last, as long as you have your bike.
United StatesRans 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.
United StatesSuperior product, excellent customer service, very responsive to needs of market.
Very positive experience…
United StatesExcellent product
This should have been the stock idler on the stratus all along!
United StatesExactly what I needed
I needed this for my XP and it’s a lot better than the original. I expect this to last a lifetime.
United StatesA Nice Upgrade
I finally got rid of the big black donut and modernized to the TerraCycle idler on my Stratus XP. I am still in early season shape, so can't say much about the change in pedaling effort. However, the shifting seems more positive and there is less chain bounce with the idler.
