pcgt pulley stock, drivetrain parts, lots of good stuff!

Is this the same belt pitch / size Matt Schumaker is using on his drives?

This is terribly sad.

Any suggestions as to how I can move this stuff would really be appreciated.

i'm still interested in the 26/28t 219 sprockets, if we can find a reasonable way to avoid the $20 in WU fees... and in another months time I might be looking at some of the pollychain stuff, just too much on my plate at the moment (finals). those sprockets would fit in a normal bubble wrap type envelope so postage should be pretty cheap right?

oh, and would you sell the 35pp bearing on its own?

I think I have an extra CSK35PP. I'd like to keep the other assembly together because disassembled, it's basically worthless and it took me a week to make. The 219 sprockets might fit in an envelope but I wouldn't trust an envelope so ship sharp metal objects internationally. I don't know what the rules are for that either. If you think that you might want some other stuff in a month, just let me know what you're looking at and I can hold onto it for you. If you're getting more stuff, I can put 20 lbs of it in a flat rate box for the same shipping amount.

I don't think there's any way to get around the WU fees but if you're buying a few things, I'll discount the price enough to offset them.

I'm not ever in as much of a hurry as I feel like I am so I'll gladly put a package together for you and hold onto it until you're ready.

its basically because im building a chain drive now (i have a few ideas I want to test), with the view of building a belt drive later once I know exactly how I want it set up... hence the interest in the chain stuff now and the belt later. I imagine if you tape the sprockets to a stiff bit of cardboard they should be fine, particually if its the 'bubblewrap lined' envelopes. I've had sprockets shipped to me that way before, no probs. How much would you want for the other csk if bought with the 3 sprockets? depending on postage I'm sure we can work something out...


also if I do get the pulleys off you are you able to cut them to size? Ive been inspired by recumbance's belt for his final drive being only 12mm with the pollychain, so I'd only need say 15mm slices.

I'd sell the CSK35PP for $20. An envelope for just the two sprockets and the bearing would cost $17 to get to you and wouldn't really be enough stuff for me to be able to offset the western union charges.

I don't have any way to cut the pulley stock down. Getting them cut to the slices that they're in now cost me $120. Since the cuts were done on a band saw and aren't perfectly true, I had them cut a little larger than the needed to be so they could be squared up on a lathe. I do have contacts at a couple of machine shops that could machine them to your final specifications but you could probably get it done locally for similar prices.

a rough cut on the pulleys with the band saw would be fine. I've got access to a machine shop at uni, so I can square it up there. I'm just thinking of ways to minimise the excess you'd post...


re the 219 stuff, I was intending to buy all 3 of the 26/28 tooth stuff, plus the bearing... with shipping that'd come to $67, call it 70. does that help at all?

To snOwchyld,

Pm sent.

I just saw your question.

The 5m stuff and slipper clutch could be used to make a first stage reduction drive very similar to Matt's drive. The 8m pitch stuff could be used to make similar final drives similar to his too. If I remember right, the 26 tooth size can be bored to press a CSK25 into for silent freewheeling. On my build, I had to back the csk25 up with a 3/4OD, 1/2ID dual bearing roller clutch. The Astro3220/HV160 combo was a little too much for the vxb CSK25 on it's own. A stieber csk might hold better but they are pricey!

I sold a bunch of stuff through craigslist. I edited the first post to show what's still available.

I have pretty much just the long sections of pulley stock left!

[mdd0127]

Anyone else need any cool belt drive stuff? See the first post for what I have left!

[mdd0127]

[mdd0127]

Make an offer if you're interested in anything I have left.

[mdd0127]

I got talked out of giving up. The stuff in the first post is still available.

[Kin]

Cool^

[mdd0127]

Pulley stock anyone? See first post for what's still available.

[mdd0127]

I don't need this stuff but I'm sure hurting for cash right now. If anyone out there is interested in belt drives, feel free to make offers!

General note to anyone looking at this thread:

Danny is awesome, and completely trustworthy. He just sent me a wonderful bike after I sent him $1500 in cash [this was a big deal for me], and he was completely helpful and responsive the whole time...And of course, the bike arrived superbly packed. So I would not worry, if you in general are cautious about sending money on trust across the country (as you probably should be.)

Actually, the only time I WOULD feel unsafe is if Mdd0172 asked me to pay with paypal..Then I would worry someone was impersonating him :p


Hi Danny,
I don't know if you have the time/camera to do so, but I suspect pictures of the wares would be useful for people. And, if you took the pictures separately of each item or at least such that you can crop the pictures when some items are sold, that would allow you to update things. There are free programs like http://johnsadventures.com/software/imageconverter/ that allow you to resize photos in bulk (since most camera photos would be a bit big to upload)

[mdd0127]

Hi Kin,

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad that the bike made it to you safely. I'm looking forward to reading a ride report

You're right about paypal. Anyone using my name and accepting paypal is most definitely an imposter.

I appreciate the advice about selling the stuff too. I'm going to be taking better, individual pics of everything and putting up proper ads.

Thanks again!

Danny

PS.. Post wheelie vids!

[mdd0127]

Just thought I'd give this a bump. Still have everything. If you need any of it, make me an offer. I need some money more than I need pulley stock right now.

[mdd0127]

As soon as I get the wheels back on the rv I'm going to be taking this stuff around to machine shops to see if I can unload all of it. If you're interested, now's the time to speak up. I'm ready to move on!

[mdd0127]

Edited first post because of a sale.

Thanks John! I'll ship em out tomorrow!

[mdd0127]

Got the rv road ready today.......finally. Last chance to get pulley stock before I unload all of this as a lot or turn it in for scrap. I need the cash and less weight in my trailer.
