Overview

Does the Shimano 105 RD-5800 Pulley Set Restore Your 11-Speed Road Shifting?

The Shimano 105 RD-5800-GS pulley set is the OEM replacement for both the guide and tension pulleys in the 105 RD-5800-GS 11-speed road rear derailleur. Both the guide and tension pulleys have 11 teeth, matching Shimano's spec for the RD-5800. When worn pulleys introduce chain rattle, hesitation on upshifts, or loss of indexing precision, genuine Shimano OEM pulleys are the correct restoration.

Includes guide pulley (upper/G) and tension pulley (lower/T). Compatible with the Shimano 105 RD-5800-GS 11-speed road rear derailleur. MPN: Y5YE98090.

How many teeth do these pulleys have?

Both the guide pulley and the tension pulley have 11 teeth, the same as Shimano lists for the RD-5800 derailleur.

How do I know when my 105 pulleys need replacing?

Look for rounded or hooked tooth profiles on the guide pulley, lateral play when pressing the pulley body sideways, or chain noise and hesitation on downshifts that persist after a full drivetrain clean.

Will this fit the SS short cage version of the RD-5800?

This listing is for the GS medium cage version. Shimano has not confirmed this set for the SS short cage, so confirm your cage type before ordering.
