Today's daft question:
While cleaning my rear mech I thought I might as well take the jockey wheels out to clean and regrease them.
What could be simpler, or so I thought? I learned Lesson No 1 a long time ago - before taking anything apart, make a note of how it's put together - so I was congratulating myself on noting that the upper guide pulley wasn't the same as the lower tension one. The upper one, incidentally, had the best part of 1mm side-to-side play, but a bit of Googling revealed that that was by design, so no danger of confusing that with the lower one.
But it wasn't till I took the lower jockey wheel out and got it on the bench that I noticed it was asymmetric - the teeth are offset to one side - and of course I hadn't noted whether it was installed with the teeth offset to the inboard or outboard.
Could some kind soul who has a Shimano Acera M360, either on the bike or on a shelf somewhere, please put me out of my misery by telling me which way round the pulley is installed?
