So I have had GX AXS on my trail bike for a couple months now. I love it…except for one annoyance. The jockey wheels on the derailleur get squeaky every couple of rides. It’s obnoxious. I am 100% sure its the jockey wheels as when I remove them, clean, lightly grease, and reassemble they are quiet…for a ride or two until the noise returns. I have neglected my XO1 mechanical derailleurs for weeks on end and never had a single noise. What gives with the GX AXS? Is this common? What can I do to prevent this?

Do they have ball bearings? If they do pull the seals off and clean out the bearing and repack it.

I've had the GX AXS kit since it was released, my jockey wheels are quiet as a mouse. I know a few others with the GX AXS kit as well, I've not heard them complain about any abnormal noises at all.

I'd contact SRAM.
