Is it just me, or has anyone else with a 2 (or 6) speed set up worn out their jockey wheels to the point that they can no longer change gear? The gear change mechanism seems to wear the outer lip as it pushes the wheel across, to the point that the lip is worn down so much that the mechanism has nothing to press against.
I've now had it twice in about 4,000 miles. Maybe I'm just a bit aggressive in my gear changing??
