Has anyone used Tacx replacement jockey wheels, are they any good?

T4050 - ball bearing
T4060 - Stainless Steel
T4065 - ceramic

Are they all 100% compatible? Is it a false economy buying cheaper replacments? Are there any alternatives to buying a Shimano set for over £20?

Cheers

they use bushings rather than bearings I think. Jon who runs my LBS swears he can tell the difference, but I haven't noticed any
