jockey wheels question

Hi folks,
This is my first foray in to the mechanics forum.

I roll with friction shifters, I recently installed a new driveline, I replaced the crankset (wound up haveing to adjust the outboard (high range) screw on the front derailleur, in order to get the chain to go on the large ring. The rear derailleur adjustment is fine). I also replaced the chain and cassette.

Since I replaced the drive line I have been having issues that I didn't have before. The chain keeps skipping/hitching randomly, more so under load. Sometimes it feels like the bike is shifting itself (although I don't think that it actually is).

I noticed today that my jockey wheels look awful pointy compared to the jockey wheels on the other bikes that I have.

Is there anything specific that I need to know, or be aware of, in order to replace them with ones from one of my other bikes?



I didn't replace the jockey wheels, I'm thinking that permaybehaps I should have changed them too.
