Needing a little help here.
Sram XO1 12 speed and the jockey wheel bearings are gone
Does anyone know of spares in stock , alternatives or can the bearings be replaced.
This is a nightmare, something so simple stopping my riding.

I believe the bearings are replaceable, but no idea on the size
The bearings are easily replaced on gx11 speed so I'm sure the same is true for eagle. Just pop the bearing out with a socket and measure it. You'll be riding again for a couple of quid.
Size 626RS for the gx11. I'd bet eagle use the same size.
If they're like previous series ones then, yes, you can push the bearings out and put some more in - I did my last ones by hand, the jockey wheel material itself is quite soft.
I think the bearings are 626-2RS but do check - it should be printed on the bearing seal. I went for ones with LLB seals in the hope they will keep stuff out a bit longer.
Awesome thanks folks
Will have a look after my noodles.
Am waiting on superstar getting back to me as well.
Argggh
Bearing were dirt cheap
But I accidentally looked at my rear hub and all 4 springs are broken so off to Hope I go.
Out of action until further notice
Just don't look at anything else.

Quicker fix than waiting for springs...
Tiny zip tie head FTW in place of the springs - a temporary fix that'll last longer than the proper springs
Apparently zip ties work in place of the springs, so I read on here the other day.
The zip tie thing , wow .
