Help - jockey wheels
Talking about jockey wheels, I remember a post recommending some, either on
here or on C+. I'm on the lookout for some new ones, one of mine has some significant play and I'd like to put in better ones, any recommendations? Deore XT long cage rear derailleur. |

Bear in mind some designs have significant intentional play. Don't know about the Deore specifically. -- Mark. http://tranchant.plus.com/ |

Probably best to stick with Shimano. Shimano upper jockey wheels have intentional play or "float". ~PB |

Tacx ones with roller bearings work well for me. Guy -- May contain traces of irony.

I'm on the lookout for some new ones, one of mine has some significant play and I'd like to put in better ones, any recommendations? Deore XT long cage rear derailleur. I tend to stick to XT ones. The upper one has a ceramic bearing and is deigned to float, as others have already pointed out, and lowers now come with a sealed bearing. Years ago I used Tacx succesfully but more recently bought some that didn't last. I'd have put this down to an anomaly but a friend fitted some BBB ones which looked identical and they also failed prematurely. These two experiences swayed me back to XTs. -- Pete |

This in XT long cage, yes? No, I've not used Tacx jockey wheels with a Shimano mech myself but the ones I got were made for various mechs, including some Shimanos. They came with various spacers to fit various make & speed mechs. The slight problem I had was caused by the jockey wheel/chain interface rather than anything to do with the mech itself, I think, and the SRAM PC59 chain I used is Shimano compatible. (Same thing also experienced with Campag chain). Can you fit Campag jockey wheels in Shimano mechs? I'm curious. Dunno if Campag jockeys fit Shimano mechs; wouldn't be surprised if they fit some with non-oversized jockey wheels. ~PB |

I did need new ones, although there is play, there's also wear. |
