Product Information
Full details
This genuine SRAM replacement jockey wheel set is designed for mountain bike mechanics and riders looking to restore the crisp shifting performance of their X0 Type 2 rear derailleurs. It serves as an essential maintenance component to combat worn-out pulleys that contribute to chain skip and gear indexing issues, though it is exclusively engineered for the Type 2 variant and will not fit non-clutched or alternative derailleur models.

FAQs
Are these pulleys compatible with SRAM Eagle derailleurs?
No, this specific kit is engineered exclusively for X0 Type 2 10-speed or 11-speed systems and is not compatible with Eagle 12-speed drivetrains.
Do I need to replace the chain when replacing the pulleys?
While not strictly required, it is highly recommended to check your chain wear with a gauge; if the chain is worn, it will cause the new jockey wheels to wear out prematurely.
Can I use these on a non-Type 2 derailleur?
No, this kit is specifically designed for the geometry and bearing housing of the Type 2 X0 series.
Is it necessary to grease the bearings during installation?
The bearings arrive pre-lubricated from the factory, but a thin layer of high-quality waterproof grease on the mounting bolts is recommended to prevent seizing.
How often should jockey wheels be replaced?
Replacement frequency depends on riding conditions, but generally, they should be inspected for tooth sharpness every 1,500–2,000 miles or whenever shifting performance degrades.
Troubleshooting
Derailleur makes grinding noise after installation
Verify that the pulleys were not swapped accidentally, as the upper and lower wheels often have specific directional profiles.
Chain jumps between gears
Ensure the jockey wheels are fully seated and that the derailleur cage bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, shift your derailleur to the smallest cog to reduce chain tension. Use a 4mm hex wrench to remove the pulley cage bolts and extract the old pulleys. When installing the new set, ensure the upper and lower pulleys are correctly oriented as specified in the service manual, as they are often side-specific for optimal tooth engagement. Clean the derailleur cage thoroughly of any built-up grease and debris before mounting the new wheels. For maintenance, periodically wipe the pulleys clean and apply a drop of light cycling lubricant to the bearings to prolong their life.
