I have a SRAM X0 rear derailleur which needs some replacement jockey wheels. Getting various info online about going for originals or alternative makes. Anyone done this? It appears SRAM have changed the specs over the years, I think my derailleur is from 2006 but not sure.

Similar to OE, but with better bearings.

Yes I was looking at them, but will they fit my SRAM XO? It does not confirm in the specs.

How many teeth on your original ones? Those wheels come with a heap of different adapter rings, so I would expect they'll fit almost anything.

11 teeth on my wheels. Think I need the other version

out of stock though.

Any other options? £11 reasonable, £30 for SRAM originals is not!

Fit these to my 105, they look quite bling and do the job for much cheapness!!

I bought some KCNC ceramic bearing ones from ebay for mine. After a year my original set looked like a set of cowboys spurs and you could actually see the bearings on the top one. Plenty on there and cost less than the plastic SRAM ones. If you don't want the fancy bearings you can get them for way less. Just look for 11T ones. Mine are 2011/12 model so am not sure if and how different

Try looking here for all the old technical documentation : http://www.sram.com/service/include-archived/sram/...
