Reminds me, those Tacx pulleys did include spare bushings to accommodate most derailleurs.

The worst part may be that the spacers are too thick and need a few cuts with a file to get a good fit in the chain cage. Do I need to post a picture to show the way it works. Please don't tell me I need to do it for the current generation who doesn't read well. Smiles, MH

I have been thinking I needed to change the jockey wheels out on the Super Record mounted on my Colnago. I was stumped on the best option. I had been debating pulling the trigger on a number of options I saw on line, but never did since I was worried about compatibility. Then I read Madhonk's recomendation and decided to give it a try. I put them on a week ago and have done a couple of rides. Wow! Huge improvement. I was fighting a lot of drive train noise and now I know it was all coming from the Suntour jockey wheels that were on the bike when I bought it.
As always, there's a lot of great advice on this site.
Thanks for posting the recommendation Madhonk.
Mike
