Suntour Rear Derailleur Replacement Pulleys
Hi Folks,
I'm rebuilding an old Suntour v-gt derailleur and would like to replace the pulleys once I have it apart. After searching, their doesn't seem to be too many replacement options.
For those that have recently replaced their pulleys, what did you use and are you happy with the results?
Thanks.
PS if anyone has any NOS Suntour pulleys their willing to sell, please send me a pm. Thx

I'm fairly sure these will work: https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...-bdp-01-a.html
I've done about 700 miles on them with no issues.

I have a first generation Suntour Superbe derailleur on my 1987 Raleigh Racing USA bike. One day while out riding the lower jockey wheel fell out of it. I walked the bike about a mile and a half to a bike shop and purchased a used low end SunTour derailleur for $5.00, maybe SunTour Honor or something similar. The Jockey wheels were exactly the same. I made the repair and rode away. That was 4 1/2 years ago. Its not NOS but It’s been great ever since.

I believe these alloy pulleys from velo orange would work:
