SRAM ceramic pulleys ?
 
I purchased as set of ceramic RD pulleys from one of the board sponsors for my SRAM force setup. I know, why? little gains etc.. I just like plugging in bike stuff and spending money for no good reason. Thing is the chain seems to be locking in on it and chattering, their tech support said it can be adjusted with washers, and left it at that. Anyone try to get these to work?, they are 11 tooth. The OEMs have a labeled lower/upper pulley FWIW, they look nice and spin well & smoothly, but so do the originals.
Thanks

I don't know about SRAM, but DA jockey pulleys have some play in the top pulley so it can seek a more "neutral" position when shifting. I was reminded of this fact, which I had known at one time, when I went to replace the pulleys on a DA RD (with a set of ceramic bearing ones). The original top pulley is different than the bottom pulley and has a millimeter of so of side to side play. I don't know if SRAM is the same, but if it is, you could try putting the original back on top and see if it helps.

Uh huh. I used to have Carmichael CNC pulleys on my 7sp D/A too. Same B.S. marketing, newer space age material.

Thanks, I'll give it a try, I think they also look a bit taller, I think I'll measure as well. If not hopefully I can
get a refund. Same ones are listed on EBay that specifically mention SRAM compatible.
