Question Generic Pulley Set?

What do you think of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ayphotohosting

The vendor has great reviews. $210 is a great price.

Never heard of them. I also didn't see the word "balanced" in the description. I know that UR's pulleys are very near perfectly balanced. When you're talking about something that is going on my engine crank, I think I'll stick with a proven and reputable company.

Agreed...stick with UR. If the pulley is no pricely aligned, it will chew belts, and if it is even slightly out of balance, it can result in increased wear on your crank bearings.

When I put my forged motor together, I had the machine shop dynamically balance the UR pulley...and it was absolutely spot on....no balancing needed.

We carry them in stock here..scroll down a bit after you click on the link.

For the relatively small increase in price, its well worth it to go with a long established firm like Unorthodox
