I've bought some new jockey wheels for my X7 rear mech as the old ones were buggerd.

When fitting, do you have to pack the little bearing bit with grease?

    I dont know if you have to but I always do, any excess grease will just work its way out

    Just use tiny bit of grease enough so its lighty coated dont want to much grease as it will come out and clogges with dirt htne the cogs wont run as smooth, i havnt replaced mine yet though
