Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM Rival AXS Pulley Kit (Part #11.7518.093.013, SKU 270903) is a direct-replacement pulley set engineered specifically for Rival eTap AXS rear derailleurs. The kit includes matching 12-tooth (12T) upper and lower pulleys, steel-bearing construction and two steel pulley screws sized 18.5mm and 12.9mm for correct fit and secure mounting. This kit uses steel bearings for durability and predictable performance in a wide range of road conditions. While lightweight ceramic options exist, the Rival AXS steel-bearing pulleys prioritize longevity and low-maintenance reliability—ideal for riders who want consistent shifting with minimal fuss.

Key Features & Benefits

Precision fit and long-life materials: The kit is manufactured to SRAM tolerances for exact fitment on Rival eTap AXS derailleurs, so installation is straightforward and indexing remains accurate. • 12T upper & lower pulleys maintain chain wrap and shift geometry designed by SRAM. • Steel-bearing construction offers robust service life and resistance to contamination compared to loose-ball alternatives. • Two steel pulley screws (18.5mm & 12.9mm) included so you have the correct hardware for OEM-style assembly. Real-world benefit: riders gain restored crisp, quiet shifting and reduced chain drag without having to replace the entire derailleur—an economical service part that extends drivetrain life.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation

This pulley kit is explicitly compatible with Rival eTap AXS rear derailleurs—SRAM model ID RD-SPP-A0. Check your derailleur model before purchase; these pulleys are not a universal fit for other SRAM groupsets (e.g., Force AXS or Red AXS may use different pulley profiles or bearing types). Installation is simple for a home mechanic: remove the derailleur cage, swap out the old pulleys, and secure the new pulleys with the included 18.5mm and 12.9mm steel screws to the specified torque in SRAM’s service manual. Lightweight grease on the threads and a thread locker for high-mileage bikes helps prevent screw loosening.

Who This Is For

Designed for road cyclists who own a Rival eTap AXS drivetrain and want a cost-effective way to restore factory shifting performance. Ideal for club riders, commuters, and sport cyclists who value low-maintenance durability over ultra-lightweight upgrades. If you’re chasing marginal weight savings or ultra-low bearing friction for racing, consider SRAM ceramic-bearing options or higher-end Red/Force pulley variants. For day-to-day reliability and longevity, the Rival AXS steel-bearing kit is an excellent service choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these pulleys compatible with Force or Red AXS derailleurs?

No — this kit is made specifically for Rival eTap AXS derailleurs (SRAM model ID RD-SPP-A0). Other SRAM AXS derailleurs can use different pulley profiles, spacings, or bearing types, so confirm compatibility with your exact model before buying.

What's the difference between steel and ceramic bearings here?

Steel bearings prioritize durability, contamination resistance, and cost-effective service life. Ceramic bearings can reduce friction slightly and save weight but are pricier and may be more sensitive to grit. For most road riding, steel bearings offer the best balance of reliability and value.

Can I replace just one pulley or do I need the full kit?

You can replace a single pulley if only one is worn, but the kit includes both upper and lower 12T pulleys and the correct screws to ensure matched performance. Replacing both is recommended if one shows wear to maintain consistent chain tracking and shift quality.

What tools and torque are needed for installation?

Typical installation requires a Torx or hex driver to remove cage bolts and pulley screws, plus a torque wrench to meet SRAM’s recommended torque settings (refer to SRAM service documentation). Light grease on threads and a small amount of medium-strength threadlocker for high-mileage use is suggested.

How often should I service or replace these pulleys?

Service intervals depend on conditions and mileage. Inspect pulleys every few months or after riding in wet/muddy conditions. Replace when teeth show wear, bearings feel rough, or shifting becomes noisy—common replacement interval is 3,000–10,000 km depending on riding conditions.

Buying Guide

When choosing replacement pulleys, prioritize compatibility, bearing type and tooth count. Match the pulleys to your derailleur model (this kit fits Rival eTap AXS) and decide whether durability (steel bearings) or marginal friction/weight savings (ceramic bearings) is more important for your riding. Also confirm included hardware matches your cage: this kit supplies 18.5mm and 12.9mm steel screws to mirror OEM assembly. Consider replacing both upper and lower pulleys together to keep chainline and shift feel consistent, and check torque specs in the SRAM service manual during installation. Regular inspection and cleaning will maximize pulley lifespan and keep shifting crisp ride after ride.
