Any feedback on that spring loaded idler pulley sold by these folks and bearing or belt longevity? Seems like they are expensive but if they give reliabilty and security they are worth it, plus they add a nice industrial look of Uly. |

Around 36K, I changed my original bearings (red seals) to the new black one. At the same time I put on a new Belt and the spring loaded belt tensioner. I have a little over 9K on this set up. So far I have had no issues. I changed the rear once so far when there was about 6K on the setup.. check bearings etc... everything look/felt good. Just a side note.. as everyone has pointed out the new belts are very tight. Even with the spring giving a little it took a little effort to get the belt on. I like the set up .... but not much of a long term test so far. Of course.. just in case I now have the '10 wheel which I will likely put on for the next tire change. |

I would like one to have one, but the exchange rate is putting it out of reach. 110 British Pounds comes to $175.50 US, |
