Hi everyone , just a quick question. I was was buying some new jockey wheels and I saw they came in different size , some having more teeth or less teeth. I was wondering what the difference is and what effect it has having
More or less? I just bought the same size as the one I had already. Any help will be great'

Cheers

Sam

    Takes up more or less chain and moves the chain relative to the cassette. You did right buying like for like.

    Not sure how many on a zee , check on chainreaction . Depends on the gear ratio I think . Does having more teeth on the jockey wheel improve chain tension and speed of gear change?
