Jockey Wheels

Earlier today both my mech hanger and guide pulley failed, which resulted in a long walk home!
I've already sourced a replacement mech hanger but I'm unsure of which jockey wheels to order, my rear mech is a Shimano 105 on my 2008 Specialized Allez elite (9 speed).
Had a look on Chain Reaction Cycles Site, I don't know whether my mech is a top or bottom pulley, which jockey wheels would fit?

Can anyone help??

    you will need one top pulley and one bottom pulley.

    the top one is a "G" pulley.

    Just go for a set of BBB jockey wheels.
    Recipe: shave legs sparingly, rub in embrocation and drizzle with freshly squeezed baby oil.

    I went for a set of BBB jockey wheels which were great and cheap too!
    Only thing was that on closer inspection my chain was goosed and the cage on the rear mech was bent too.
    I ended up buying a rear mech hanger, chain, cassette (had to with the new chain) and a new rear mech, turned out to be an expensive week!
