"BikeYoke founder Stefan Sack explains that he created the original Shifty in 2016/17 after a really wet and muddy race weekend across the border into France managed to seize up a brand new derailleur. When thin mud & grit worked their way in between the stock plastic shift guide pulley and its steel bushing, everything soon ground to a stop, adding a lot of friction to the shift cable."
"The BikeYoke Shifty v2 might just be the mountain bike performance upgrade that you didn't even know you needed to keep your mechanical shifting crisp throughout the year. The shifty is a simple little gadget. It replaces the stock plastic SRAM shift pulley rather with an alloy BikeYoke alternative that spins more smoothly and longer on a sealed bearing. Now it its second generation, the BikeYoke Shifty v2 fits more derailleurs. It offers more color options. And it is, in fact, cheaper, too."
The BikeYoke Shifty v2 is an alloy replacement for the stock plastic SRAM shift guide pulley that spins on a sealed bearing for smoother, longer-lasting operation. The original Shifty addressed failures caused when thin mud and grit entered the interface between the plastic pulley and its steel bushing, which increased cable friction and could seize a derailleur. Version 2 is thinner to clear reduced spaces on newer derailleur bodies and includes extra spacers to fit older mechanical SRAM 1x derailleurs and newer Transmission mechanical derailleurs that use a smaller bolt plus threaded sleeve. The v2 also adds color options and a lower price point.
