I have an '88 or '89 Alpine Monitor Pass hardtail MTB with all
Deore componetry. While I was cleaning & oiling the chain I
noticed that the jockey wheels on the rear derailur were hard to
turn. I sprayed their axles with Triflow which helped some, but
they still are not free spinning. Turning them has the same
resistance as turning a spoon in honey.
What I am wondering is what should be done. Do I need to
disassemble the rear derailur and lubricate the jockey wheels ?
How? If so what do use oil or grease? Should I replace them with
Bullseye pulleys or an equivelant? All advice is much
appreciated.
