Why not use a V belt like Velo's?
Wilko,
Reasonable idea, but I guess it could be done but as I/we already have this setup....may as well use it, and the other would require more research/logistics..
Yo Musky, I was gonna ask where's the Pies Shop..?? but think I just found it, probably just as easy for me to go straight there, save any double-up postage and hassle??
As far as I can tell the belt pitch is 5mm? -or would it be in imperial ? Trying to crack the #code; A=section/wide?, T=toothed?, 5=mm?, 420=mm length? (84T x5mm =420mm)
But what about '046'...? batch#...?
To determine the 5mm deflection, I pushed on the bottom side to get a straight line on to measure from the top, and the belt just touched the boss under pressure. Other than than, how does it matter if the slack is at top or bottom as it spins anti-clock..?
Just had a look at Pies, but can't find a listing for 10mm belts??? smallest is 16mm (16AT5/420 Synchroflex Timing Belt)
...a bit later....
Cancel all that kinda- I just called Pieshop, and spoke to Shannon, he said they cut it to width, and they don't have any RED Synchro 111 in Oz, it may need to come from Germany...the RED belt is about 25% stronger..
...sooo, I'll email Hayden?
