What happen if you exchange them?

[@cyclemaintenanceacademy]

Hi, thanks for your question and apologies for not getting back to you sooner (summer holiday duties). The guide pulley and tension pulley are specifically positioned based on the geometry of the derailleur, the angles at which the chain travels, and the sizes of the cogs on the cassette. Switching their positions could result in improper chain alignment, poor shifting, increased chain wear, and even potential damage to the components.
