SRAM X9 Wheels - Question

[New Landy new life]

Hi Guys

 

Anyone know if the split shown in pic below is normal in one of the De-railer Wheels?

 

Also I cannot see from the picture on SRAM webpage - which wheel is top and which bottom.

 

I am having a few issues with my de-railer and thought maybe the split in the wheel might be an issue or I have mixed up which wheel goes where during past cleaning exercises.

 

If anyone has this model, could you have a quick look and let me know.

Think that is toast,could try some QBOND & fix that split.Wheel probably sliding/slipping around the bearing now.

Dont think top or bottom wheel matter on most derailleurs .

Try use an old wheel if you got spare or ask LBS.

Can always get bling upgrade ones.

That "split" is not normal ... it's forked!

Thanks oaks.

Weird how the shape of the teeth are so differently worn.

do you guys think there is a poor setting or just to many winter races through heavy mud.

MTB has only clocked 1400km's
