Shimano Ultegra 6700 Derailleur Pulley Set

easy to install, good way to rehab aging derailleur.

I needed to replace worn pulleys on my Ultegra RD-6600 rear derailleur so I bought this set. The lower pulley with the sealed bearing is fine but the other has some drag between the rubber seals and the metal dust covers that I've never had before on this type of seal. I'm hoping it will get better with time.

The pulley set is top notch. THere are after market sets avaialble but short of the higher end ceramic type these work and last and are best for 99% of the bikers out there.

Used these to replace the Tiagra 10 speed jockey wheels on my Trek. They work great and are a higher quality than the originals.

Purchased 2 sets of these Ultegra jockey wheels to replace Shimano 105 OEM bushing pulleys. Even though Shimano does not list it, works great with Shimano 105 10sp RD.

My choice for 10 speed derailleur pulley replacement. Better wear and performance than the 105 option.

Works well as expected

I used to get dropped in cat 6 road races in the first few km but after installing the Shimano Ultegra 6700 Derailleur Pulley Set I set 25 KOM's on my first ride and instantly upgraded to UCI Pro Continental Status. Forget deep section aero wheels and skinsuits, with these jockey wheels I save so many watts I can effortlessly ride up hills at 67 WKg. The only downside is now that my rides are so fast and long I have to change tires twice because they wear out.

As with most things, you get what you pay for. I tried the aluminum pulleys you can find on Amazon. They were real pretty, but the pulley immediately began to pull off the bearing after they were installed. Any side load was not tolerated well at all. These Shimano pulleys, however, can take the side loading and perform great. No more no name pulleys for me.

I bought this assuming it would fit 105 5600. It does fit and function properly. Should be a bit more durable and smoother than the original.
