NOS ceramic pulley wheels
I had the bright idea that these would be just the ticket for upgrading a 6 speed derailleur. I hoped they'd somehow fit to allow improved shifting.
They aren't compatible for the 6 speeds as the diameter is too large for what I have .
These are 10/11 speed compatible.
Was $60 - now $55 with shipping for Canada and lower 48 states. Now $50 OBO

IMO- old Suntour stuff works great with Bullseye pulleys-
IMO- Suntour "sealed bearing" pulleys are great as well, just not as showy (and loud) as Bullseyes.
IMO- Shimano SIS stuff works best with the Centeron pulley in the upper position.
That being said, I have a 7 speed bike running an 1994-ish SIS derailleur with Bullseyes on it- and it works "fine."

I had these from (I think) pre-covid and was told then, that no, they won't work. They've sat for awhile.
I'm going to either find a set of Shimano at the Co-op next time I visit and install those or just buy a set of the 5/6/7's on Amazon.
I was just running in circles trying to get the bike to work. I gave up and installed a Miche Italian threaded bottom bracket, the NOS RSX RD and a (nearly) NOS FD.
It shifts really well for all gears with a 14-28 freewheel. I have only rode around the block once as they use salt here on the roads and why wreck it.
I'll see what it thinks of a 30 tooth one in the spring.

Wes,
You are like the Miche parts, We used them as a back-up set for the RAAM when I was wrenching for the race. Smiles, MH
