Hi
I need to change my jockey wheels and was wondering if it is possible to run 15 t jockey wheels on a med cage sram red 22 derailleur top and bottom. Or would this change something/ be dangerous?

Thanks for your feedback

on a short cage? i doubt you'd had the room vertical. the teeth would probably hit each other

Hi nathanong87,

I agree, but i wanted to try it on a mid or medium cage (hope I got the term right)

I doubt the top one will work, it will interfere with the cassette.

Why would you want to do it?

You'll also need a -much- longer chain BTW.

Thanks marin, I think that you are right. The top one is my main concern too.

As to why,I was just looking at the oversized pully wheels system of Ceramicspeed and saw that they were using a larger cage and wondered if it would work on a 'standard' longer cage. I also need to change my pully wheels..
