Source for Shimano 7402 pulley wheels?
Bike is a 1995 Kestrel 200, and I'm trying to save it as a winter trainer. Problem is finding replacement RD-7402 (7 speed) derailleur pulley wheels. Been Googling the heck out of it, no real luck. Just one exact nos narrow bottom pulley wheel on eBay, with shipping is $50. Really. In Italy as well.
I'm not a purist. I just want to get the bike functional- are there any aftermarket brand pulley wheels to fit this vintage Dura Ace, or should I look for another derailleur instead?

640X series wheels should work fine. Not exactly the same but close enough. Especially for a trainer. Actually, for a trainer bike you could use a set of inexpensive plastic Shimano jockey wheels, they are out there for around 10$. I mean, how much do you shift on a trainer?

I greatly appreciate the helpful responses- the Amazon link above is exactly the advice I was looking for. Although the listing does not say the wheels fit my specific 7402 derailleur, it would appear that they do. I have no experience in Shimano interchangeability, and was just doing searches for exact replacement parts. Open to any other suggestions, comments, or options.

the pulleys are seriously worn...tried some janky aluminum replacements from Performance. they were noisy as crap, so I put the old ones back on.
might try the Amazon listing. hard to go too wrong for $12.

I have a similar issue with my 7402 derailleur. The ceramic bushing broke. I'd really like to find a replacement that's not 'generic' looking without breaking the bank.

Both of the linked pulley sets will work.
Both are what I recommended above.
Neither are exact matches to the original ones.
