New idler for RSP Chain Device?

sprinter2012

As per the below photo, my RSP chain device is in need of a new idler.

But where on earth can I get another 9t idler pulley without spending £14.99 on an e13 one?

The chain device is kind of defunct now anyway as it has a narrow wide chain ring (fitted by previous owner) and a SRAM GX 2.1 mech soon to be fitted (although currently has SRAM X-9 2.1).

But I'll be using this more for trail centre type riding like red runs at Bike Park Wales than local bridleways so I figured I'd leave it on for added security and to avoid chain slap over rooty ground etc.

My last resort will be to just cut off the lower arm of the ISCG mount and use it as a top guide only, but that seems like a waste of an otherwise good chain guide!

Just looks like an ordinary jockey wheel to me. BBB and Tacx tend to be cheap.

Ordinary for what? This seems to be standard for a chain guide jockey wheel (about 34mm, 9t with a bearing) same as the expensive e13 one.

Whereas standard jockey wheels for rear mechs for example seem to all be 11t or 13t and about 43mm so no good for this unfortunately.

I wasn't counting teeth. So your options seem limited.

Off an e13 chain device funnily enough

Have a look for one of them.

Your senility is showing.

I can get the e13 one off eBay for £12, so if I have to I'll just get one of them. But I just thought there must be an obvious alternative I had overlooked seeing as you can get nearly the same thing for a couple of quid for mech idlers.
