KCNC Ceramic Pulley Wheel is a lightweight aftermarket derailleur pulley machined from 7075 aluminum and fitted with a 689 hybrid ceramic cartridge bearing. It is designed for riders refreshing or upgrading compatible Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo 9- to 11-speed rear derailleurs.
KCNC designs these pulleys with a controlled amount of lateral float, allowing the pulley to settle into position under each cassette cog. That movement helps support smooth shifting, quieter operation, and better chain alignment across the cassette.
Compatibility Note: Derailleur pulley fit depends on derailleur brand, cage design, pulley position, tooth count, bolt size, and cage clearance. Confirm your original pulley size before ordering. Sold individually.

Tooth Count Notes
Campagnolo 10-speed derailleurs commonly use 10T pulleys, while SRAM, Shimano, and 11-speed Campagnolo derailleurs commonly use 11T pulleys. Larger 12T and 13T options should be checked for derailleur cage clearance before installation.
Why Use Ceramic Derailleur Pulleys?
Derailleur pulleys spin quickly and are exposed to chain load, grit, and repeated movement. A machined aluminum pulley with a quality cartridge bearing can be a useful upgrade when refreshing a worn derailleur cage or reducing friction in a clean, well-maintained drivetrain.
For 11- and 12-speed wide-range drivetrain setups, compare this standard ceramic pulley with the KCNC Asymmetric Ultra Pulley Wheel. For SRAM mechanical mountain derailleur cable service, see the KCNC SRAM Derailleur Cable Pulley.
