until someone makes some quality metal 44T press-fit kegel and abec11 pulleys
The Holly Grail of pulley/bearing world. How come no one has ever come with a sproketed metal (Aluminum) wheel pulley, in mass quantities, for either ABEC, Kegel, Clone, or whatever… beats me (??)
Nobody has ever listen to our outcry. If one, just one lonely company, dares to manufacture a sprocket metal wheel pulley, in mass quantities, that could work with most wheel cores… it will do a killing!! But until then, we will have to wait in the sidelines dealing with these stupid chinese multi-piece retainer-hell bolt-nightmare wheel pulleys we often find outhere which requires twiching, adjusting, balancing, tightening, or screwing, with bleak and less than optimal results.
My pulleys will be here in about 2 weeks. There will be a Flywheel and Kegel Hub that press fits into the wheel, and then interchangeable pulleys (32,36,40,44)
I’m pretty excited as I think they will be the best thing available. This means you can buy a Hub+Pulley and if you ever want more speed or torque you just have to buy the Pulley and not the Hub.
Ive been loving the POM pulleys from @marcmt88, pretty much any tooth count and any width for abec or kegal hubs and a very good price point. I know they have bolts but they are much simpler to get aligned than the TB steel pulleys and the POM seem to hold up fantastically👌
I almost almost ALMOST mentioned our conversation about these from our meetup the other day. I felt it might be rude to mention it without knowing the progress tho. I am so glad to hear that this project is coming soon!!!
I literally typed a whole post about it, thought about it, and deleted it. Excellent
