Description

Over many years, TerraCycle has equipped numerous Windcheetah models with chain idlers and developed this highly versatile idler set based on that experience. It is compatible with almost every known Windcheetah model and delivers a significantly improved chain line, no more plastic blocks.

Both the drive and return sides of the chain are fully supported by smooth-running, precision idlers, ensuring a clean, quiet and highly efficient chain path across the entire drivetrain.

At the front, the chain is routed beneath the boom via adjacent drive and return idlers. The extra-wide axle allows the chain line to adapt dynamically to gear changes. A dedicated clamp-on chain keeper makes installation and adjustment straightforward. In most cases, the front idlers can be mounted in the original position. For some very early models with limited clearance, a clamp-on idler mount is required instead.

At the rear, a specialised clamp-on idler mount with a sliding adjustment block allows precise alignment of the over/under idler to the chain line. The drive side runs over a toothed cog, while the return side glides on a durable urethane surface. This idler also moves with gear changes, while a double clamp-on chain keeper ensures the chain remains securely in place – even in the most adverse weather conditions.

The result is a clean, smooth-running chain that keeps your Windcheetah performing at its best, mile after mile.

Why choose the Titanium (ELITE) Cog?

For frequent riders or those with high power output, we generally recommend the Titanium cog. Unlike aluminium, which will eventually show wear from the chain’s rollers after several thousand miles, titanium provides extreme durability. Especially in high-load drive systems, the ELITE version ensures that your chain management remains as efficient as it was on day one, saving you money on replacement parts in the long run.
