I'm struggling to get my head around the price of jockey wheels. Any suggestions for replacement X0-compatible jockey wheels that'll still allow me to feed my children this month? Cheers!

Yep, they are stupid money everywhere.
Buy silly mechs, pay silly prices to keep them going IMHO...

Not sure which bit you need, but have you seen[url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/sram-x9-or-x0-jockey-wheel-ceased-fixed ]this[/url] thread?

My lower jocket wheel is getting a bit sticky, but the top is still running smoothly. Not sure if I should get some new bearings, or upgrade the bottom one - I don't like the design of the bottom one the way it is held between the two plastic spacers.

Thanks mate, though sadly my bottom jockey wheel rather resembles a morning star, so I suspect I'll need the whole thing. Considering an entire X9 mech is a similar price to the X0 jockey wheels, I'm tempted to go in that direction.

I needed some replacements for my X-9's. lbs only had X-0's. More money, but have lasted longer than any other jockey's on my Sram's

Replaced mine with KCNC. I think cheaper and are not made of cheesium.

Try [url= http://www.dotbike.com/ProductsP3992.aspx?utm_source%3dinternal%26utm_medium%3d7%26utm_campaign%3dDDI ]here[/url] not tried them personally but £13.24 has got to be better than the XO price of a million pounds

I used the BBB ones on my X0..... work spot on. £13... jobs a good un.

Although I'd have gone KCNC if i had the money..

I have set of brand new X0 jockey wheels, never been near a chain.

You can make me an offer if you have not already bought some.

I use basic Tacx ones, they're jockey wheels... no complaints!

I'm not looking forward to my XX ones wearing out: [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=22262 ]how much!?[/url]

I've never found the bearing life an issue, they just go pointy very quickly!
