Ok, I have an M771 xt rear mech. Is there any reason i shouldnt use LX jockey wheels (£20 CHEAPER!!!) in it other than weight or assumed longevity?

The above are the ones I'm considering.

Replacing the whole drive train so i dont want to fork out for xt ones!

Should be OK, as long as they have the same nuber of teeth. (11 I think)
Bear in mind they only have bushes, not bearings like XT, which is why they are cheaper.

i can cope with a bit more drag from bushings. Even if they only last half as long they are cheaper! £2.99 as opposed to £13.99, choices choices!
