Replacement Jockey wheel bolts for a 2022 Lego / SRAM Eagle 12 speed derailleurs - or tell me what size spec bolts they are!?!? Stripped the head.

[Tetsugaku]

Hello - I am trying to get the bolt out from the lower pulley wheel, and it's stripped (I didn't change it last time, my FLBS did)

Anyway, I tried a load of methods, nothing worked, so I am going to epoxy an Allen key into it, which will get it out, but then I have no bolt to go back in.

I haven't got a replacement bolt 'cos I bought non SRAM wheels this time and they don;t come with one.

Any suggestions very welcomed

(Edit, I'm UK based)

Search for "sram derailleur pulley wheel kit"
I think it's a m5 x 14 countersunk screw but not 100% sure

Thanks for that - I can find the whole kit that way, but not just the bolts unfortunately

that is great huge thanks - however it's US site and the shipping to the UK brings it up to £24 and at that point I might as well buy a whole kit from SRAM!

it's their jockey wheels I am trying to fit!
They do not come with bolts so you have to supply your own or use the ones that came out

Their webpage says explicitly that they care, and then they provide their email address.
What did they say when you asked for a replacement screw?

 

[Pyr0]

hmm...
I tried googling SRAM jockey wheel screw.
There's some cheaper ones on ebay etc.

well, given they don't have any bolts listed on their site (as in I searched the entire site for "bolts") I didn't bother asking but I will do just in case!

Those Uberbike ones will do even if they are mad priced cheers - I did see a load on ebay but they all looked like cheap direct shipped Chinese crap, and a 14 day delivery time from mainland china!

Since you're just replacing the wheels and not the cage, I would assume that the screws will be identical. I wouldn't bet the farm on it, but I think there's a high probability. With that in mind, you could go down to the bike shop and ask if they have a broken derailleur they'll give you. Or maybe you'll get lucky and they will have salvaged some screws off a derailleur they were throwing out.

 

[Tetsugaku]

Well. This better work….
