Can anyone guide me towards what I need to order for replacement jockey wheels please? The bottom wheel has seized on herself's bike and whilst I'm going to take it apart and attempt to recover, I don't really have much optimism based on previous experience.
What do I need to get to replace them as I can't find anyone that'll admit to their jockey wheels fitting 2013 x0......
The Fishers part # is GPS6 so any dealer with a Fishers account could get some for you easily enough.
(that's assuming a type 2 rear mech)
Thanks sdb. It's the worst thing about sram, jockey wheels seem to be only made for about a fortnight before changing them to a new fitting.
Consider alternatives, like KCNC ceramic bearing jockeys which will last way longer than SRAMs, and well vented to shed mud. They don't seize up so easily in my experience.
The SRAM jockeys are way over priced for what they are and how long they last, in my opinion.
KCNC have been faultless for me for just over a year now... the same can't be said for the SRAM jockeys
Thanks, will order some kcnc jockey wheels. In the meantime I've just taken the old ones off, cleaned them out, greased the tiny tiny ball bearings and reassembled. All seems to work fine now, at least until the summer arrives 🙂
Same here - had my kcnc ones in for a year now and not a grumble. Apart from the paint worn off the teeth they still look immaculate.
They also have the advantage of holding onto less crud so the rest of your drivetrain keeps cleaner.
I'm assuming 2013 is still standard 11T?
Ah this brings back memories trying to find anywhere with the jockeywheels to fit the version that was NOT using a center drilled hole.
Was at one LBS who insisted they had the right ones until i asked them to fit them.
These day they are all "standard" one nice screw through the middle ?
