My riding mate has a 2008 spesh enduro running 9 speed XO.

As you can imagine the drivetrain is pretty worn.

One thing he definitely needs is jocky wheels.

Is there a budget option that anyone can recommend that will fit.

Cheers.

Steve.

if it is like the later XO stuff then any 11 tooth jockey wheel will fit. Just count the teeth and buy whatever is the same. Sure to be thousands of budget options on Ebay

They look like this ……

I guess these would probably fit unless there’s something special about 08 9 speed XO derailleurs.

Sorry SRAM isn’t it. I’ve no idea about that.

I reckon they would fit. I have swaps jockey wheels between shimano and Sram before. So long as tooth count is the same. The generic ones on sale usually state that they fit both brands

you did say cheap didn’t you lol

Looks similar to my X0 mech. Any old Chinese alloy ones from eBay or Amazon should fit.  Top one may have an offset bushing, so rollerboy ones from eBay will fit.
