Alright guys, I need motor pulleys. The torque board ones retaining rings are crap. I need a 14t 15mm wide 5mHTD pitch with a 9mm bore and a 3mm keyway. Basically a standard 14t 15mm wide pulley. Any recommendations? 3 extra points if it’s on amazon prime. I also have kinda short motor shafts for how far out my wheels run- currently using this
Without the thing retaining ring. 12t just isn’t working lol
Can someone help me out here? I’d kinda like aluminum because it’s cheap and the retaining rings on em I’ve seen were a part of the pulley…
I need pulleys. @torqueboards pulleys broke while tensioning the belt. The ring pop off like a twist top soda bottle. Tried to fucking return them and some wrong size belts, but no one ever replied to my email. I can be a piece of shit too, I’ll just cancel the charges on my card.
Come on. What fucking pulleys do y’all use?
It’s getting cold, I was waiting for @Boardnamics but “Coming this week was 9 days ago. Didn’t come that week or this week. Dumb
I’ve had the same pair of torque pulleys for a while, and I go hard on them! Only problem I’ve had with TB is the 14T pulley where the ring came off, but that was my fault. Realized the belt was pushing against the ring and was not aligned with the wheel pulley. Otherwise, they’re my favorite pulleys
Read the 2nd sentence. I need retaining rings that can retain. Torque board ones pop off with about 20% the pressure it takes to open a glass bottle top. The first one popped off when tensioning the belt and the 2nd one popped off when I pushed on it with my thumb to see if it was as shitty as the first one. The 3rd and 4th popped off when I pushed them with my thumb because they were going to do it anyway.
The rings are held on by press fit circles that are cut to about the same tolerances as I cut my steak.
Actually, my pulley alignment is dead on. I’m currently running 20mm pulleys so the belt is sitting right where it wants, same place new pulleys will be installed.
I don’t care what anyone says, I shouldn’t be able to pop a retaining ring off with my thumb. This is a problem I’ve never experienced except with torqueboard pulleys. My last pulleys retainers had hundreds of pounds of force on em without breaking.
Tb pulleys are junk.
I’d love to do a review of @Boardnamics new pulleys but I paid Monday and tracking says they haven’t moved yet

That seems unnecessary.
I’ve ran pulleys without rings on my motor. Ture belt/mount alignment is key.
Not trying to question your building abilities, I’m the last to talk lol.
But, hundreds of pounds seems like an issue.
I agree they shouldn’t pop off with your hand.
I have a 3 year old set of tb pulleys that have been on multiple board’s and I’ve beaten the fuck out of them removing and installing over and over.
My guess is bad batch.
I personally agree with you, anything that TB doesn’t make in-state (everything sans tb110) is just cheap rebranded aliexpress shit. He lost my support after the all terrain wheels problems and lack of giving a shit in general.
