1.As the center distance gets bigger, the less an idler has the ability to adjust the tension of the belt. Hard to explain but basically think trigonometry here. I tested my design with a longer center distance and change in belt required belt length actually got worse, I know weird.
2.The mount is already long w/ a 90mm center distance. Any bigger and I risk people having clearance issues with their boards. A longer mount is also more sensitive to alignment issues, again trig.
Best way to combat this is to source a different belt for abnormal setups. Besides, most mounts only support a narrow range of belts anyways, right?
The total bolt head clearance is limited by the distance between the belt and the actual wheel. Most people have their belts nearly rubbing the wheel which leaves not even those bolts to give any clearance at all. Iâd rather not risk any wheel bite from a bolt anyways.
Flip it. If youâre talking about the idler, itâs tough cause it has to be on the top or bottom, canât be both. That said if youâre running dual, one will help breaking and the other accelerating. Iâm aware of that whole slack side idler idea. Shouldnât make much of a difference, didnât think of thatâŚ
Yeah to anyone who has theirs already, letâs see it I know a lot of you havenât been invoiced for it yet, waiting on 320mm belts. All the mounts are ready but I ordered a ton of belts. My inventory is looking good so I should be able to crank them out fast.
Im interested, but I have 15mm pulleys already and I wanna make sure this design works for me. 15T and 36T with 90mm wheels. 6367 motor and caliber 2 trucks. Mount looks good though! I wanna buy it. Just show me 15mm belts work fine and I will
Yeahhhh, about that. That came up recently. Basically one side is countersunk only of course, so if you have a dual setup they are flip flopped. I would have to make a mirrored version. Either way they work, it is all accumulative. Remember you break and accelerate. Its one or the other
Okay due to high demand, I will be purchasing 15mm belt variants. Hopefully people still buy 12mm too though because I will have about 150 belts within the next few days. So if you want some extra belts, congratulations I got you covered
