Shifty is a small but extemely effective little device for your SRAM 1x11 or 1x12 rear derailleur.
Particularly when riding in wet and muddy conditions, we found out, that SRAM rear deraillieurs lack shifting accuracy, due to the fact that the original pulley rotates with its plastic body on a steel axle.
The pulley experiences extensive friction, when dirt, water or mud come into play and causes lack of precision or even "ghost-shifting", because the rear derailleur is not able to react smoothly to the trigger´s action, since the shifting cable can not move freely.
BikeYoke Shifty features an anodized 6061-T6 aluminum body, which encloses a stainless steel bearing for ultra low friction, even when playing in the dirt.
Every Shifty now comes with a bolt and axle kit, which allows installation of our Shifty on the popular GX Eagle and NX Eagle rear derailleurs, which normally use a riveted connection, instead of the bolt-on solution of the higher spec derailleurs. You just need to remove the original rivet and replce them with our bolt and axle.
This is more than just toppings..
It is a major difference in shifting performance on my GX Eagle!
Some tips:
- DISMOUNT your derailleur!
- Drill the rivet head on the inside of the derailleur (the one facing to the chain) This way you can easily hammer out the rivet pin. (Gentle hammering will be enough!)
- I started with a 5 mm diameter to drill away the rivet head, followed by a 6 to get the actual hole a bit larger.

The shifting on my Yeti SB5.5 with a X0 eagle rear mech used to be all over the place every few rides. Since I\'ve installed that little part I\'ve never had to look back again ... smooth shifting every single time ... and it\'s been 8 months so I would say it does work :)
I was skeptical at first because I could not really understand how that would solve the issue but gave it a go anyway out of frustration and it does the trick. Look no further if you seem to have that problem with your eagle. Good work lads !!!

Shifty is NOT compatible with GX Eagle 12 speed derailleurs due to the pulley being riveted on instead of bolted like the compatible derailleurs. If you are mechanically inclined it is very easy to grind the head off the rivet and punch the shaft out with a punch, shifty can then be installed with proper hardware. I took the bolt and threaded sleeve off a junk gx 11speed derailleur and used it to install shifty in my GX Eagle derailleurs.

The Shifty is freakin\\\' brilliant!
On my particular bike (2017 Trek Remedy 9.9RSL) The SRAM 1x12 drivetrain tolerances are so tight the derailleur has to be in *precisely* the right spot for proper shifting and to not drag on the adjacent cog (or cogs). No amount of fiddling with the barrel adjuster could trim out the problem. The Shifty is so smooth it lets the derailleur settle into exactly the right spot EVERY time, with no more dragging on the adjacent cogs. And it lightened up the shifter action a little too—a nice bonus!
As mentioned by others, Shifty should have been original equipment from SRAM.
Get a Shifty...best US$40 you\\\'ll ever spend.

is it compatible with Sram GX Eagle 1x12 rear derailleur? Thank you
