So, apparently I had three sets of these lying around that I recently found, all for Sram rear derailleurs. I gave my friend 2 sets and installed them on 2 of his bikes. While in the stand, on both bikes, the upper pulley separated from the bearing and shifted to one side. The bearings are epoxied to the pulleys, so I need to re-epoxy them. These are several years old, but barely worn as I had lost them years ago. I guess the epoxy just became brittle?

Can anyone recommend the best type of epoxy to use? Unfortunately, Rothshek no longer has anything active and I haven't been able to contact him.
