Stone Narrow-Wide Pulley Wheels 10T–16T with NSK Bearings for Shimano & SRAM Derailleurs
The Stone narrow-wide pulley wheel (guide roller / jockey wheel) is designed for road and MTB rear derailleurs, with a tooth profile that holds the chain securely for smoother, more consistent drivetrain performance. It is available in 10T, 12T, 14T, and 16T sizes to suit short, middle, and long arm derailleurs.
Key Specifications
- Material: POM high-strength resin body
- Bearing: Japan NSK 689-2RS
- Tooth options: 10T / 12T / 14T / 16T
- Weight: 9g / 10g / 12g / 15g
- Thickness: 8mm
- Inner diameter: 6mm (compatible with 4mm and 5mm mounting bolts via the included adapters)

Compatibility
The pulley fits most brands of 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12-speed chains and works with road and MTB rear derailleurs, including SRAM GX / XX1 and Shimano M9000 setups.
| Chain / Derailleur | Compatibility | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Most 8–12 speed chains | Compatible | Covers most brands |
| SRAM GX / XX1 derailleurs | Compatible | Choose the correct tooth size for your cage length |
| Shimano M9000 derailleurs | Compatible | Choose the correct tooth size for your cage length |
| SRAM road 12-speed AXS Flattop chains | Not compatible | Does not work with Flattop chains |
| Shimano 12-speed road chains | Compatible with modification | The original Shimano 12-speed road quick link is too narrow; it must be removed and replaced with any other brand of 12-speed quick link for the chain to fit and work properly |
Size Chart
| Tooth | Outer Diameter | Weight | Fits |
|---|---|---|---|

| 12T | 52mm | 10g | Most middle and long arm derailleurs |
| 14T | 58mm | 12g | Some long arm derailleurs |
| 16T | 65.5mm | 15g | Very few long arm derailleurs |
Upgrade Advice for Larger Pulleys
When moving to a larger pulley wheel, follow these principles to avoid clearance problems:
- Top (guide) pulley: It should be smaller than the lower pulley. If it is too big, it will hit the cassette. Upgrade by a maximum of 1 tooth over your current guide pulley.
- Lower (tension) pulley: You can go 1–2 teeth larger than your current size. A larger wheel spins more easily and can improve riding efficiency.
- Single chainring setups: A narrow-wide tooth pulley is recommended for better performance.
Example: If your current guide pulley is 11T, the largest replacement is 12T — 13T would be too big. If your tension pulley is 11T, you can use 12T or 13T.
About the POM Material
Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as acetal, polyacetal, and polyformaldehyde, is an engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts that require high stiffness, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability. It maintains high strength, hardness, and rigidity down to −40 °C.
Typical POM applications include high-performance engineering components such as small gear wheels, eyeglass frames, ball bearings, ski bindings, fasteners, guns, knife handles, and lock systems. The material is widely used in the automotive and consumer electronics industries.
