Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM's eTap AXS Steel Bearing Pulley Kit is a direct-replacement jockey-wheel set engineered for 12-speed eTap AXS rear derailleurs (SRAM model RD-SPP-A0). The kit replaces worn or noisy pulleys with high-precision steel bearings and purpose-designed pulley bodies, restoring smooth, reliable shifting and extending derailleur life. The pulleys are manufactured to SRAM's OEM tolerances to ensure perfect alignment and optimal chain path. Built for daily riding and high-mileage training, the steel bearing construction focuses on durability and predictable rolling performance in variable road conditions.

Key Features

Durable steel bearings: Hardened steel races and precision ball bearings resist wear and deliver consistent low-friction rotation under load. Steel bearings are robust for long-term reliability and cost-effective service compared with ceramic options. OEM fit and finish: Designed specifically for SRAM eTap AXS 12-speed rear derailleurs, the kit offers exact spacing and fastener compatibility. The package includes the pulleys and required mounting hardware sized to SRAM's specifications for a straightforward swap.

Fit & Compatibility

This pulley kit is compatible only with SRAM eTap AXS rear derailleurs (12-speed). Confirm compatibility by matching your derailleur model and noting SRAM part identifiers: Product Number 270844, Manufacturer Part # 11.7518.093.004, and SRAM Model ID RD-SPP-A0. Shipping dimensions are compact (4" x 2.8" x 0.5") and the kit weighs about 0.1 lb — the same hardware footprint as factory pulleys so there is no chainline or cage modification required. Not suitable for non-eTap SRAM road derailleurs, wide-range SRAM MTB cages, or third-party derailleur designs unless explicitly stated.

Who It's For

Targeted at road cyclists who run SRAM eTap AXS 12-speed drivetrains — from commuters and club riders to racers — who need a reliable, OEM-quality pulley refresh. If your jockey wheels are making noise, feeling rough, or showing excessive play, this kit returns shift precision at a fraction of replacing the entire derailleur. Mechanically-inclined riders and home mechanics will appreciate the simple swap process and long-lived steel bearing design. Bike shops will value the kit as a dependable service part for routine drivetrain maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this pulley kit compatible with my SRAM eTap AXS derailleur?

Yes — the kit is designed specifically for SRAM eTap AXS 12-speed rear derailleurs (SRAM Model ID RD-SPP-A0). Check that your derailleur is an eTap AXS 12-speed road derailleur; it is not compatible with non-eTap, older SRAM road models, or SRAM MTB derailleurs.

How hard is it to install the pulley wheels?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic bike mechanics. You remove the old pulleys from the derailleur cage, fit the new pulleys with the supplied hardware, and torque to SRAM's spec. A bike shop can complete the service quickly if you prefer professional installation.

What are the benefits of steel bearings versus ceramic?

Steel bearings are highly durable, cost-effective, and tolerant of contaminants — making them ideal for everyday road use and high-mileage riders. Ceramic bearings can offer marginally lower friction and lower weight but are more expensive and can be more sensitive to contamination.

How often should I replace my derailleur pulleys?

Replacement interval depends on mileage and riding conditions, but many riders change pulleys every 5,000–15,000 km or when you notice roughness, side-play, or noise. Regular drivetrain cleaning and lubrication will extend pulley life.

Will these pulleys affect my chain wear or shifting performance?

Fresh, properly installed pulleys with precision bearings help maintain crisp shifting and can slightly reduce drivetrain resistance. They don't eliminate chain wear — keeping chainring/cassette and chain in good condition is also important for optimal shifting.

Buying Guide

When choosing rear derailleur pulleys for a road bike, prioritize compatibility and intended use. OEM-fit kits like SRAM's eTap AXS Steel Bearing Pulley Kit guarantee correct spacing and hardware, which is critical for the precision required by 12-speed systems. Consider steel bearings if you ride frequently, in mixed weather, or want a lower-cost, durable option. If you're chasing marginal weight savings and ride mainly in clean conditions, consider ceramic-bearing options — but for most riders the trade-off favors steel for longevity and serviceability. Always confirm model numbers and cage compatibility before purchasing.
