Jockey Wheel lube

[rb58]

Hello. I have Ultegra 6700 rear derailleur. After I'd cleaned jockey wheels I noticed that, when spun with the finger, the bottom wheel will spin several times before coming to a stop, whereas the top one will spin perhaps one revolution only. The top one has a ceramic bearing, whereas the bottom one is normal.

Is this normal, and what lube do folks recommend for a ceramic bearing?

Thanks

It's normal. TBH I put a small amount of grease in my Jockeys, always have done, as they are sealed, so I don't get much spin from mine.

After cleaning with baby wipes, mine get a qdrop of chain lube both sides, seems to be OK.

Chain lube, but it only happens when the chain's off for any reason (usually replacement) so it's pretty rare.
