Aslong as it's from the same deraileur or atleast similar it should work. I don't think it would work though if you tried to use one of those huge acera pulley wheels in a deore:lol:

It should work. Becuase it's a pulley, it wont matter if it's 8 or 9 because the difference between 8 and 9 speed is the thickness of the outside of the chain if I'm not mistaken.

i use a 7 speed derailler for 9 speed cog/chain. i just switch the pully wheels on the derailler to 9 speed so they fit the chain and to narrow the gap in the derailler cage.

The 9 speed pulley is narrower than an 8 speed one so you might run into problems with your chain binding as it goes through the derailleur.
