Does anyone know if the guide wheels for the E13 SRS can be replaced with something a little beefier? Maybe a derailleur pulley? I just broke my 2nd one. It's not completely broken but one side of it has split right through.
E13 SRS pulley wheel replacement

Yeah, I alread bought a parts tree from them last time, I'm just looking for a more viable solution - maybe crazy glue
If your setup is dead-on nut, one roller should easily last you a season or two. If your alignment is off, the roller could get side-loaded and get a little messed up. Something else we've found is that certain weird-o chain lubes can chemically impact the roller as well. Most lubes from Finish Line, Pedros, White Lightening, etc. work totally fine, but we've found that there are a couple of lubes out there that cause some pre-mature wear on the parts.
Give us a call if you want to discuss. Please note that we just moved into a new, larger office, and our phones have changed.

I don't even have the pulley on mine. I'm just running it on the bearing and it's worked perfect for 2 years.
Acadian, what chain lube do you use? I'm using the Prolink stuff and I'm wondering if this would fit into the "weird-o" category of lubes.
Well then stop recommending that damn prolink stuff!!! lol
I switched over to it because so many people were talking about it. Now i've gotta pawn it off on some non-e13 heathen.

what's wrong with a regular old bottle of finish line cross country or something?
I don't know what volume you buy but you can get about a quart of the stuff for $7 at moto shops. That's easily a fourth of what the bike marketed stuff sells for and it's the same goo.
Just use it on your XC bike then.Originally posted by Acadian
and I still have like 4 bottles Prolink at home that I still haven't even opened
Well, isn't that some funny shiet? I have been using Prolink and I have had to replace one of the pulley wheels because it cracked. I guess no more Prolink with my Evil guide.Originally posted by Acadian
Well low and behold....since moving from Prolink to Dumonde Tech Lite, I've had no problems...and I'm riding more than before.
I've had 3 rollers crack. I'm certain they were installed correctly. It's not the lube resulting in failures...
If that's the case, stop by our office (I noticed you're in Maine; we just moved to a new office in Portland near the Public Market) any time and I'll personally go over your bike from top to bottom and make sure everything's kosher. If I can't find anything wrong, I'll send you on your way with a lifetime supply of rollers . . . free.

So Dumonde Tech BHP Chain Oil in a pint container is the same stuff that I have in the little drop bottle?
White bottle with black letters? It looks the same, makes me dizzy just the same (same solvent) and behaves the same on my drivetrain as the stuff in the little clear bottles with white lettering I used to buy. I bought the family size last october and have been using it since. I can't tell the difference.
That's my science and I'm stickin to it.
I haven't done a taste test though............
Oh yeah of course!
Our more expensive (insert product type) designed for bicycles is entirely different than the compound used in our motorcycle (insert product type). Confusing the two (insert product type) would result in total disaster!!! I mean would you use motorcycle assembly grease or motorcycle suspension fluid on a bicycle!!!??? Of course not!!! That's why we sell our highly specialized (insert product type) in smaller volumes specifically to bicycle dealers who truly know the difference!!
The stuff I used to use looks like the bottle on the left but is green, not blue. So is the stuff in the big bottle. I don't use the "lite" but that looks closer to what I used the last two years.Originally posted by Acadian
Yeah but I can git me a real biggin of the regular fer less $$ at my local moto shop!!! I'm un amoreican and I needs me a bargain!!!
I just sent an email to dumonde tech asking them what the difference is (if any). I'll keep ya posted. The heavy definitely collects the northstar dust.
I talked to Michael at E13 and he is sending me a replacement roller.
