Product Information
Full details
The SRAM Rear Derailleur Pulley Kit (GPS2) is an essential maintenance component for cyclists riding bikes equipped with 2008-2011 SRAM X0 rear derailleurs. It is designed for riders looking to restore crisp, quiet shifting performance to their vintage or long-term gear sets by replacing worn pulley wheels. While this kit offers a precise fit for specific models, it is important to note that it is not backwards compatible with newer derailleur designs or other product lines, so verifying your derailleur model year is critical before installation.

FAQs
Will this kit work on my SRAM GX derailleur?
No, this kit is specifically designed for 2008-2011 SRAM X0 derailleurs and is not compatible with GX or other product series.
Do I need special tools to replace these pulleys?
You will typically need a standard set of hex keys (Allen keys) to open the derailleur cage.
Is there a difference between the upper and lower pulley?
Yes, always observe the placement of the old pulleys before removal, as some SRAM models have specific designs for the upper (guide) and lower (tension) pulleys.
How often should I replace these pulleys?
Replacement intervals vary by usage, but they should be changed whenever you notice visible wear on the teeth or significant lateral play in the pulley bearings.
Can I use this for a 10-speed or 11-speed drivetrain?
This kit is intended for the X0 drivetrains of the 2008-2011 era; compatibility with different speeds depends strictly on the cage geometry of your specific derailleur model.
Troubleshooting
Chain is noisy after installation
Check that the pulleys were installed in the correct orientation and that the cage bolts are tightened to manufacturer specifications.
Pulley wheels feel stiff
Ensure that the bearing plates are correctly seated and no debris is trapped between the pulley and the cage side plates.
Shifting still feels imprecise
Check your derailleur hanger alignment and cable tension, as pulley replacement only addresses one component of the shifting system.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Restores original shifting precision to classic SRAM X0 systems
- Includes both upper and lower pulleys for a complete replacement
- High-quality bearing components minimize noise and drag
- Easy direct-fit installation process
Cons
- Compatibility limited strictly to 2008-2011 SRAM X0 models
- Not compatible with 11-speed or 12-speed modern Eagle drivetrains
- Requires specific tools for derailleur cage disassembly
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, shift your chain to the smallest cog to reduce tension. Use an appropriate hex key to remove the derailleur cage bolts and extract the old pulleys. Clean the interior of the cage thoroughly before seating the new pulleys from the GPS2 kit. Ensure the upper and lower pulleys are oriented correctly according to your specific derailleur cage markings. Regarding care, keep the pulley teeth free of excessive grime buildup. While these parts are durable, a periodic light application of bicycle-specific dry lubricant will extend the lifespan of the bearing plates and keep your gear transitions smooth.
