Suntour Superbe Derailleur Pulley
Is there an after market sealed bearing derailleur pulley, available now, that will work well on Suntour Supurbe real derailleurs?

I use the old Bullseye pulleys.
Any of the 10-11T pulleys will be awesome on there. I think VO and Tacx are other new ones..

Not sealed, but probably work as well as the originals:

They come with enough for 2 washers per side- that's what I use.

Didn't Bullseye firmly establish that you would save enough energy on a 1 mile ride to power a city of 20,000 for 4 months?

I have been using the Chasertech sealed units on all of my restoration work. Smiles, MH

I thought the bolt diameter for SunTour (and Simplex) pulleys was larger than Campy used. Love City Cycles (Loveland, CO) makes some compatible pulleys. I believe they start with normal Shimano pulleys, drill out the holes and replace the bushings. Also, a NOS set of SunTour pulleys was on eBay recently. Don't know if it sold.
I needed a pulley recently for a Cyclone GT and just rescued one from a slightly lower end SunTour derailleur in the parts bin. I do have a set of Bullseye pulleys, but this didn't seem the right application. They await their proper calling.

The Bullseye pulleys were all 6mm bore bearings for the inner race, If you are using something like Campy they are 5mm so the spacers from Chasertech do a lot to help with centering. I have replaced the bearings in Bullseye's for about $12 per set, but they too are 6mm center holes for installation. If used in a Campy derailleur they will need to be centered by eyesight for correct use. JMHO, MH
