Yes, I’ll do my best to make it.
I don’t think that’s the full picture. 3DS stuff costs more and BN has easier access to the US market.
That’s a common misconception. It’s nyloil, not pom. Based on @Skyart’s info: Newbee helical 4GS gear drive! - #222 by Skyart
AFAIK the PEEK pulley is still in testing, looking forward to the results.
It doesnt have to be. The 1:5 ratio in 103 mm is comparable in size to the BN drive at 98mm. It’s just the 127mm one that’s massive.
I feel like a lot of this steel vs. pom debate is just a personal preference. I would not want to ride 90 miles(144.841km)(what this board is meant to do) with straight-cut steel gears screaming at me. Tinnitus guaranteed.
