I sold my road group recently and was cleaning it. I was using it on my gravel bike so it was never super clean
Anyway, I try to do my best when cleaning but I never realized how much stock pulley wheels kept muck inside. There's a recess/groove that I had to dig in
Which brings me to an idea. I found these:

Has anyone done it? Thought it's a small price to pay for better shedding pulleys
Anyone change their pulley wheels to shed mud/muck better?

I'm running Hope 12t on GRX and Ultegra. Thought they'd be noisier but they aren't. Easier to clean and much harder wearing. Shifting is identical.
