Juddy Posted March 24, 2019 Share Simple question really, is it worth spending extra on more expensive jockey wheels ? is there any difference? Shimano XT Pulley Wheels RD-M8000 vs Shimano RD-M9000/9050 pulleys.R450 vs R165 Quite a price difference, what is it that you pay the extra for? I can't seem to find any info or specs on the jockey wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted March 24, 2019 Share Probably sealed bearings in the more expensive ones where the cheaper ones probably run on plastic/nylon bushes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddy Posted March 24, 2019 Share Probably sealed bearings in the more expensive ones where the cheaper ones probably run on plastic/nylon bushes Nope both offers sealed bearings Shimano XT Pulley Wheels RD-M8000 Precision sealed bearings in both guide and tension pulleys keep drivetrain smooth and friction-free. and that's the cheaper of the two...
