Having a problem finding lower cost 11 tooth 10 speed jockey wheels that will work. $100 plus or minus a set is not in my budget. Ordered two sets so far and both about 45mm - one claimed to be 41 which is close to what I think I need based on measuring well worn old wheel. In lowest gear links make contact between pulley and sprocket with the 45mm. This has been a most frustrating project. Lots of low cost ones avail - but virtually no one lists wheel dia or will answer if questioned.
Pretty sure the orig part number is 00.7518.014.000.

Do these look like what you need? https://tacx.com/products/jockey-whe...ilter-collapse Standard or Stainless bearings are all you need. Can usually be had/ordered at your local bike shop or shop around online. Tacx makes good quality jockey wheels and are what I have used when needing replacements. Plus they use pretty much maintenance free sealed bearings. What's not to like?

That is what I needed - thank you.

Things are getting a little nutty when jockey wheels cost $100 just to have ceramic bearings which are near pointless.

Just re-read your post and completely skipped what might be the solution to your issue. You need to try the B-Screw adjustment on the rear derailleur to create distance between the jockey wheel and cassette sprockets. If you're unsure about making this adjustment just search YouTube or ?? for "SRAM B-Screw Adjustment" . Very easy fix.

OP Here: On the road again with 41mm pulleys. Took three orders to get it right. Thanks to all.

couldn't you just use rival or force jockey wheels for like 10 bucks , or even shimano ones ? i still prefer the red mechs weight even if i have to swap out for the lower quality wheels , i always find red stuff on the cheap ...

If I knew what I was doing when I started looking - it would have been simple. At my age it is unlikely I will wear this set out.

Dusting bike off inspecting things and remembered you post. Wow how dumb of me. Did not see one to adj. - because it was sheared off at housing. Not sure how that happened. Only one bike shop has ever touched my bike and I know I didn't do it. Just hope I can grab other end enough to get it out next time wheel is off. Yup 45's probably would have worked. THANK YOU!
