Hi,
Anyone replaced their X9 jockey wheels on SRAM rear mech ?
cheers ๐
Stuey - not sure what you mean ? ๐
I looked into this. You can either have BBBs, which are about 12-15 GBP, or the SRAM, which are about 20-25, depending. I don't think you have any other options. Choking price for some toy plastic wheels, IYAM.
I filed the tab off the cage on mine so I could use a normal centre mounted top jockey wheel, the position is obviously slightly different but it works perfectly.
Although I only did this as I needed to get up and running and had some spare spangly gold ones laying around doing nothing. ๐
If there the same as X0, then I just replaced mine with KCNC which seem to work faultlessly and come in a variety of colours.
The BBB ones seem very good so far, I found the plastic clamshell did clog up with mud but it takes a couple of minutes to sort out every few hundred miles, and the bearing itself is well protected. Seem better than the SRAM ones to me.
