Good evening all,

I have a Specialized Allez that has a Shimano 2300 mech on it. I removed the said mech at weekend to give it a good clean when one of the washers on the tension pulley decided to go walkabout, well they both did but i caught one. Is it possible to replace the Jockey wheels with another brand, or am I looking at forking out for a full rear mech?

I have tried all the usual online stores, without success, to find a match. I've even tried the LBS to see if he had a spare washer lying about.

You can guarantee whatever the answer is, that little S**T will turn up wondering what all the fuss is about!

Mmmm it seems the 2300 has at least one outsized wheel, and if I were the OP I would probably rather get another rear mech than paying £11+p&p for jockey wheels for that mech. Pretty much any current 6/7/8/9 speed Shimano rear mech could be used to replace the 2300, from this to this to this and numerous other choices.

Thanks everyone, I'm going to wait for a jockey wheel to arrive off a friend to see if it fits. If not I'll probably go with a new mech.

Thanks again for your replies.
