Precision Kegal pulleys

These are never going to fit on Caliber2 hangers, you need to buy a Boardnamics 184mm hanger which have longer axles and is a drop-in replacement.

Or, you can do this old trick:

Modify a 184mm caliber ii hanger for use with an Evolve Abec style wheel pulley

…but I recommend the @Boardnamics hangers

Awesome video, that’s much easier than trying to grind up the pulley lol

If you need any further help from me, let me know, and I’ll assist you if needed.

Are they compatible with Evolves Dkps?

Awesome! Now try this

Alignment – the best way I’ve found to perfectly align belts is

• get motor mount (without motor) snug on hanger, then loosen a tiny bit so it moves
• install wheel and pulley with no speedring (washer) between the hanger and inner bearing.
• push motor mount flush up against wheel pulley so they are touching each other
• keep those held tightly together while you tighten motor mount clamps
• make sure mount is flush against, and touching, the wheel pulley, and there is no gap or misalignment
• finish tightening mount clamp all the way
• make sure again that mount is flush against, and touching, the wheel pulley, and there is no gap or misalignment
• when you’re all done, take the wheel and pulley back off, add a single 1mm speedring (washer) and just like that, the pulley will be perfectly aligned and 1mm away from the motor mount plate
• if you need it further away when you are doing tensioning, then add more washers

Lol yeah please dont do that

[Savage1]

Now, put a 608 bearing in the pulley.
I hate to say this, but with the condition of that mount, coupled with that hanger, it might be hard to get the motor pulley running true to the wheel pulley.

Damn, these are nice. Makes me want a thane board with belts.

[Savage1]

@longhairedboy is gonna have some nice ones for sale soon

[jaykup]

Agreed. I have a 608 in the pulley now that I’ve cut the caliber to fit, but getting the motor mount parallel to wheel pulley will take some careful alignment. For now I’ll align it like @b264 suggested. I’ll upgrade the hanger and mount eventually, but for now this is a big improvement from my PETG pulley.

@jaykup

Is that a surface plate you have there?

[jaykup]

I wish, just an old office table

[EDness]

I wanna know as well.

[brown5tick]

Me too.

[Savage1]

@Dizzie

Are they compatible with Evolves Dkps?

Yep, with a 6900 bearing like a glove.

don’t know why the video is so shakey

[EDness]

Did you sand down the edge of the wheel?

[Savage1]

I bought these used from nullbox. He did that

[xsynatic]

Hey you might want to change the codec on your iphone so others can see the video too

[rusins]

Anyone in the EU want some? Would be cool to split shipping cost
