Don't lose your jockey wheel axles!
Yeah, I did...
Ordered a new pair from Aliexpress... wish me luck.
But they're titanium! (Is Chinesium anything like titanium?) I bet I save 0.01 gram. (sigh) Wish me luck. I should have them by the end of August.
EDIT: Doh! I have a barn full of old bikes. Why didn't I check to see if any of them use the same jockey wheel axle??? Ah well, that's something to do tomorrow.

You mean the bolts? How and why did you lose the bolts? Odd one but yeah I guess alibaba and his 40 thieves may have something. I generally just use stock except the one time I bought some old SRP or similar 3DV bolts because they are freakin 3DV and it's a vintage 90s era MTB what else you gonna do?

I helped someone find the pieces of their derailleur on the side of the road in cold rain one time. The way most people end up losing them is by failing to torque them properly when they reassemble their derailleur.
