Plus, it gets rid of Shimano's patented lateral-movement in the guide wheel, which to me makes the shift more consistent.
(Yes - all the jockey wheels are interchangeable in the "road" series.)

Do this, it works.Abby wrote:I replaced the jockey wheels in my 5600 derrailleur some years ago with "BBB rollerboys". Easy-peasy, and a nice little upgrade (going from a bushing to a smooth running sealed bearing). Pretty cheap too!!
Once covered in road grime (~10km), nobody can see what you're rolling anyway.

I find i get some weird noises when using CNC jockey wheels unless the chainline is pretty much straight. I think its just the chain sides rolling over the teeth slightly.twizzle wrote:Token CNC. Hmmmmm..... bling!

the doco posted above suggests the ultegra and 105 jockey wheels are exactly the same. for some reason wiggle charge twice as much for the ultegra onesDarrylH wrote:Going to XT or Ultegra level gives you an upgrade from plain bearings to sealed/ceramic bearings.

funny thing is the tech doc for the 5700 rd says the 105 jockey wheels are not compatible with the ultegra RD...jasonc wrote:the doco posted above suggests the ultegra and 105 jockey wheels are exactly the same. for some reason wiggle charge twice as much for the ultegra onesDarrylH wrote:Going to XT or Ultegra level gives you an upgrade from plain bearings to sealed/ceramic bearings.

It is a bit hard to tell from the diagrams but the 6700 look like sealed/ceramic and are different to the ones shown in the 5700 diagram - the compatibility code says compatible but different

I went for the Dura Ace jockys as they are both sealed units. They also last longer and need little mainteance. You can ge them for arround $40 online.
Cheers.
Bikes: 1 x Steel 26” Cruiser, 2 x Alloy Roadies, 1 x Full Carbon Roadie.
It is unfair if only one bike gets all the attention.

What are the issues without play?DarrylH wrote:I think you will find that Ultegra has a ceramic bush on the upper and a sealed bearing on the lower. Shimano upper wheel needs a bit of side play and you can't get that with a sealed bearing.
Running sealed bearings on my 6600 and 6700 ultegra and 7800 dura ace derailleurs.
