Hi,

Looking at getting a 2nd hand Ultegra rear mech from ebay, some say "some life left in jockey wheels", "jockey wheels seem fine". Once that have worn out can the be replaced or do you just throw it away?

Cheers

    Of course they can be replaced... these spares are never cheap though...

    What was the point of the original post when you look at it in context, it was clearly BS! and cOMe to think of it what was the point of yours?

    I used a set of those and they're fine. They come with spacers suit a range of mechs.
