Anyone else got experience with these? Got on on my snyper and one of the jockey wheels has seized already. Looking at it, seems to be a fairly generic type of fitting, so wondering if I can bang in a roller from a stinger etc on there as replacement jockey wheels seem to be a right pain in the arse to source. I've seen one for the e13 system and it looks identical, but that might just a stock image or something. I'm a bit worried that the mud of death we have round here will continue to destroy these wheels on a regular basis and don't really want to be forking out every four or five months if I can avoid it.

    Seems like a fantastic product for £120.

    Many of the jockey wheels use Shimano compatable designes so you can use any Shimano (narrow fitting, not BSO) Jockey wheel, if you have a Shimano rear mech it would be easy enough to find out, then you can fit a pimped alloy wheel with sealed bearings.

    Alas not, the shimano ones are 11 or 13 teeth and the one in the MRP is a 9 tooth jobby (which I can't find a generic version of). That was my first thought as well because I had an XT mech that I'd destroyed earlier in the year kicking around, but they're bigger as well as having more teeth.
