By the looks of it, it seems like a very good setup. I’m a bit technical myself and don’t see many complications so far. The only thing I can think of is the durability of the idlers. But this can be sloved with good quality bearings. So how is the quality of your used bearings? And what would be points of attention according to you?
If you trust your setup as it is and have no major updates coming up now, I’m willing to buy two mounts, inluding covers and idlers. For 83 mm wheels. Cheers!
Thanks for your feedback, regarding the bearings I am using FAG quality bearings, they are sealed.
I belive this setup will work fine, but as always it is important to setup the belt tension correct and make sure the mounts align to the truck.
But I did a few sketches over your images and the old setup would have issues when used with larger pulleys, which you probably need to use for such a huge wheel. You can see it on the picture above - smaller blue circle is 40T pulley and larger is 44T.
Even the new, smaller idler will not work with 44T pulley (70.033mm pitch diameter).
@WSB All right. Sounds good to me than! Like I said, I’m interested in 2 mounts inlcuding idlers and covers. For 83mm wheels. Let me know how to proceed with payment and where to put my adres Thanks!
