Hi
Building up a retro Stumpjumper for a mate on the cheap and have a modernish LX rear mech I thought I would bung on, but the jockey wheels are cr*p.
Mmmm....good excuse for me to buy some (more) bling....I'll buy some ludicrously expensive flash jockey wheels for my M952 rear mech, and he can have my hand me downs.
Just had a quick look on the CRC site for jockey wheels, and whilst there I saw that it said to be careful to match the correct jockey to the mech.
Both use 11T.....what diff can it make?
Cheers
Carl

    if using shimano ones you need a G pulley for the top jockey wheel and a normal one for the bottom.
