SRAM Red 10 speed rear derailleur pulley
I just bought a used road bike that has a SRAM Red 10 speed rear derailleur:
1. Lower pulley (with a thick axis screw) is actually a Shimano ceramic bearing pulley and it is in mint condition inside. Is that Ok to have a Shimano pulley ?
2. How are ceramic bearings lubricated ? Is high quality bike grease good enough ?
3. Upper pulley (with a thin axis screw) is destroyed.
Can anyone please link to its part number, drawing or shop link ?

I have a 10 speed SRAM red system.
I noticed listings for 10 speed SRAM pulleys do not include the red group set as relevant.
Is that intentional ? Is there a specific set of pulleys for red Derailleur ?

I don't know the answer, but if you have to pay premium price for any pulleys, look for ones with sealed ball bearings instead of bushings, if available. You might look online for that, and the maker or seller may know exactly what pulley will fit for you. Oh looky here, quick search on amazon, don't know if they fit yours, but cheap:

If the pulley spins easily, it probably work fine. No special lube needed for ceramic bearings. For derailleur pulleys, I use heavy oil rather than grease. If the grease is stiff enough if might cause the chain to skip over the plastic teeth on the pulley and thus damage the pulley.
