I took apart my rear derraileur today to clean after weekend ride, I removed the jockey wheels from my shimano alivio mech and set them aside whilst I cleaned the mech inside and out, then I cleaned the jockey wheels the bolts and the small centre bearings and put to one side for reassembly.
I then went to re fit the jockey wheels which are both the same size but one has a metal insert with 4 grooves in and the bearing runs inside this metal insert but I never noticed when I removed where the one with the metal insert came from nearest the 8 speed cassette or the other one, furthest from the cassette ?
The other jockey wheel is just plastic without a grooved metal insert, I think the metal insert one should be near to the cassette but really not quite sure now...
Any help will be appreciated,
Cheers,
Deano
