Ok so quality control is definitely an issue
Hey guys! Received today my 2 sets.
The belts are all 250mm. The motor pulleys only have 11 teeth. The grub screws are to small for the holes in the motor pulley (M2 i think). On the plus side they gave me one extra screw for one of the wheel pulleys
@atenner this worked for you??
Look as sh*it as mine haha. @atenner has received second batch from same seller with slightly better quality ( slightly more expensive ). Do your retainer holes match pulley holes? Mine are slightly off … At the moment I managed to screw in 4 out of 6 bolts because of misalignment. Done 7 miles on it - so far so good nothing came loose.
Actually one of the wheel pulleys is slightly better. Mine are off too. I only was able to screw 3 bolts.
He tried saying half refund, and I could keep the pulleys I said no. So tomorrow is the day that I can ask eBay to step in and make a decision. So yea they will give full refund. I’ll confirm tomorrow. Where did your parcel arrive from ? Just make sure you click ‘defective/doesn’t work’ or ‘not as described’ for your reason for return. They will HAVE to pay for return shipping or let you keep the item, with a full refund.
I’ve shaved a bit of plastic off and got all 6 in. Really hard graft to get it central though. Stick with 3-4 in, it won’t go anywhere, and periodically check the bolts
Exactly, after getting 4 in I gave up on other two, really tough plastic and so hard to drill in perfectly through.
I think it came from China. I’ll do that. Although it says “Buyer pays return shipping”.
Back on topic, I received my wheels from @atenner and they look and feel mighty fine, I threw some bearings into them and they were a nice mild interference fit with just my thumbs, good job thanks fella.
I was going to Rit dye them but dunno the navy is starting to grow on me.

So I received my knock off kit from China. Only 11 teeth on the motor pulley and two 250 belts. However, all six of my screws fit perfectly
EDIT: on closer inspection, grub screws are waaay too small. Belts seem too small too.
My kit came exactly the same. Started a return claim and got full refund today.
Did you end up shipping back or did ebay pick up the cost?
Full refund from the seller and kept the kit.
Guys, can you tell me the dimensions of that retaining ring please? Inside diameter, outside diameter…
Outside diameter: 43,76mm Inside diameter: 25,01mm
Thanks so much!
Sorry man!!! Is there a way to turn on notifications on this forum?
