I need to order a new belt. I’m on a 16T / 36T setup, 12mm width. Of course, I do not have the belt with me and I am trying the figure out the standard length for such a setup. Should I order…
Thanks, thats what I thought. Didn’t want to order unless someone confirmed. See, the thing is I need to order today. There are rumors that CanadaPost will go on strike on Saturday, which means that unless @torqueboards ships them out today, I’m pretty much beltless for the whole summer!!!
@torqueboards just wondering what’s the difference if I used 280mm vs the 265 or even 255mm? I know the belt is longer but what are the benefits/disadvantages, etc. I just put together your V4 mounts with an RSpec 6355 motor and the center hole is a bit small for the washer that’s under that C-Clip of the motor. Is this a known problem? Also I was wondering what else can I do to tighten the big clamp to the trucks? I am not a weak dude but I’ve tried my best without breaking or stripping anything. I did try the shrinktubing but perhaps I have to use more than one piece? There is still a ton of play on it at the moment. Just wanted some building tips before I slap on the electronics other than the motor.
It’s just center distance between your two pulleys. Shorter is better just as long as you have enough teeth in contact.
Our c-clip is recessed on our motors. I’ve ran motors with the c clip being too big for the center hole before and it works fine and possibly the c-clip can get damaged but there’s not much you can do.
As for the clamp, you’ll need to fit a piece of the heatshrink on the curvature part of the caliber truck. This makes it more solid. Don’t rely on just the M6 bolt without a heatshrink. Hope this helps. Please let me know if any issues.
