SRAM Rival, Apex Pulley Set

SRAM Rival/Apex Pulley Set (11.7515.060.000) is the OEM replacement kit for Rival and Apex road rear derailleurs. These pulleys are engineered as a direct-fit spare part (Manufacturer Part #: 11.7515.060.000, SRAM Model ID: RD-SPP-A0) so you get the same geometry and tooth profile as the factory components for reliable shifting performance.

Construction combines reinforced polymer pulley wheels with precision sealed cartridge bearings and corrosion-resistant hardware. The reinforced polymer keeps weight low and resists wear, while sealed bearings reduce friction and keep grit out for long service life — ideal for frequent maintenance or restoring a worn derailleur to like-new feel.

Low-friction sealed bearings: Cartridge-style sealed bearings minimize lateral play and reduce drivetrain drag so shifts feel crisper and pedalling is more efficient. On long rides you'll notice smoother transitions and slightly improved roll-through.

Reinforced polymer pulley wheels: Durable, impact-resistant polymer preserves tooth shape under load and resists contaminants better than softer plastics. That means consistent chain tracking and extended chain life compared with worn or degraded pulleys.

This pulley set is a direct replacement for SRAM road rear derailleurs that use part number 11.7515.060.000 (SRAM Model ID: RD-SPP-A0). The kit ships with the correct spacing and hardware to match OEM derailleur cages—no modification required.

Installation is straightforward: remove the derailleur cage bolts or retaining pins, swap old pulleys for the new pair, and torque hardware to SRAM spec. If your original pulleys show lateral play or noisy bearings, replacing them will restore precise indexing. Weight: ~0.1 lb; compact shipping dimensions make this an easy service part to keep in your toolbox.

This pulley set is aimed at road cyclists who perform routine drivetrain maintenance or want OEM-quality replacement parts. If you commute, train frequently, or ride in wet/gritty conditions, fresh pulleys help maintain crisp, reliable shifting and protect expensive cassettes and chains from accelerated wear.

Mechanics and home-wrenchers will appreciate the direct-fit nature and familiar SRAM sizing—perfect for workshop spares, fleet maintenance, or one-off repairs to Rival/Apex-equipped bikes.

When buying derailleur pulleys, prioritize exact OEM fitment and bearing type. Look for the correct part number (11.7515.060.000 / RD-SPP-A0) to ensure tooth profile and spacing match your Rival or Apex derailleur cage. Reinforced polymer wheels with sealed bearings are a good balance of weight, durability, and low friction for road use.

Consider replacing pulleys at the same time as your chain if you ride frequently or in harsh conditions. Keeping spare pulleys in your workshop toolkit is inexpensive insurance for maintaining crisp shifting and prolonging the life of your drivetrain components.
