I was finally able to get into PeeBucket to download the pix of my XC RD with the Bullseye pulleys.

I really like the red pulleys- they stick out. IMO- if you're going to spend the bank to upgrade something that makes such a little difference as bearings instead of bushings on your RD pulleys- you should at least showcase it. It might not be evident- but the upper jockey pulley is a "titanium" colored Bullseye. The stock Suntour pulleys are 11T and the last pulley is 9T. The Bullseyes are 10T pulleys- so there's enough room for both pulleys- the only time I can see it getting really hairy is in the big/big combination if the chain is too short- and the elbow might go high enough for the last pulley to contact the big cog.

I'm in the process of building up another friction machine right now- I kind of wanted to use either a Cyclone GT or MII Cyclone GT- but, finding these pictures reminded me of how cool that RD is.
I’m sorry I missed this post! Thank you for posting these pictures- your pulley combo looks AMAZING. I am inspired. What a cool way to highlight an unusual component!
