Jockey Wheel compatibility.

Hi guys, my Sram jockey wheels have worn out after 6 weeks and dusk till dawn So I'm looking for something with a bit more longevity, so I was pointed in the direction of these: http://clee-cycles.co.uk/esite/SKU1718/product

It says they're not compatible with X9 however i'm 99% sure i've seen them on a Sram x9 rear mech, the same as mine. (10 Speed Medium cage X9 rear mech)

So the question is, are they compatible?

No.
The X9/X7 etc have a 2-hole fitting on one of the Jockeys

Unless they've altered the style this year.

I've got the ceramic bearing KCNC wheels on my SRAM X9 and their great..
See here for full details.

PS. SRAM X9 from model 2009 onwards had single centre holes.

I have the newer model of rear mech than yours Matt, however my jockey wheels are the same, well the same as left hand one :oops:

So they should fit?

Yes.

Has anyone got a way round replacing the dam expensive Sram X9 rollers ie used Shimano or other. My 09 X9 bottom wheel has worn its teeth to a point. The top one seems OK. The bottom one has just the centre mounting hole so I was wondering if anyone has replaced just this with a Shimano one?
