Kogel’s Kolossos derailleur hanger upgrades have made the leap to T-Kind, providing a substitute cage with their outsized pulleys spinning on ceramic bearings. That they had already launched substitute pulleys that match into the inventory SRAM T-Kind rear derailleurs, however now the T-ransformation is full…
There are two major issues it’s best to know in regards to the new Kogel Kolossos T-Kind. First, the cage is angled to imitate SRAM’s “Inline Cage” design that factors the decrease pulley towards the chainring to cut back noise and friction.
Second, it doesn’t embrace the clutch mechanism just like the inventory substitute cages do. So, you’ll have disconnect the inventory pulley from the clutch, leaving it contained in the derailleur’s P-knucle housing, then twist and bolt the Kolossos on as a substitute. Kogel consists of the device to take away the 3mm tamper-proof bolt that SRAM makes use of to dissuade such shenanigans.
That is related however totally different to how you put in any OSPW on most different cages, however barely totally different solely as a result of T-Kind derailleur cages are supposed to twist out of the derailleur for tool-free swaps. Undecided what any of which means? Right here’s my authentic protection of the Transmission system for a refresher.
The T-Kind Kolossos begins delivery in mid-Might, is out there for order now, and prices $475 commonplace for black, gold, or uncooked. For $525, you will get it along with your selection of cage, pulley, and {hardware} colours, mixing and matching from all of their obtainable anodized colours (provides blue, crimson, purple, and many others., to the combo).
Or, for a restricted time (and for $550), you will get it in vibrant inexperienced/pink or pink/inexperienced Cerakoted combos. I imply, you do you, I’d most likely stick to black.
