Does the Shimano Ultegra RD-6800 Pulley Set Restore Your 11-Speed Shifting?

The Shimano Ultegra RD-6800 Version 2 pulley set is the OEM replacement for both the guide and tension pulleys in the RD-6800 11-speed rear derailleur, featuring the Version 2 upgrade of sealed bearings in both pulley wheels for quieter chain operation and longer service intervals between replacements. When worn pulleys introduce chain rattle, hesitation across the cassette, or visible shark-fin tooth profiles, swapping in genuine Shimano OEM pulleys restores the precise lateral chain control the RD-6800 cage was designed around.

Includes both the upper guide pulley and lower tension pulley. Designed specifically for the Shimano Ultegra RD-6800 11-speed rear derailleur. Version 2 pulleys are the current production spec and are backward compatible with earlier RD-6800 cages.

FAQ

What is the difference between Version 1 and Version 2 RD-6800 pulleys?

Version 2 pulleys include sealed bearings in both the guide and tension pulley wheels, providing smoother rotation, reduced chain noise, and longer service life compared to the original bushings in the Version 1 design.

How do I know when my derailleur pulleys need replacing?

Look for hooked or pointed tooth profiles, side-to-side play in the pulley when pressed, or increased chain noise that persists after cleaning and lubing the drivetrain. Replacing before bearings seize prevents cage damage.

Will these fit the Shimano 105 RD-5800 derailleur?

No. Pulley dimensions and bolt spacing vary between Shimano derailleur families. These are designed specifically for the Ultegra RD-6800 cage and are not confirmed compatible with 105 or other derailleurs.
