Got my rollers but?
« on: October 27, 2018, 08:37:00 AM »
How many rollers does the bike need.  I just got mine and there is only 6 in the package.  Is this correct? I can't believe I paid $65 for shipping for this tiny things!!!! geeez!

Nireen,
Where the heck did you order them from?
That's crazy!
For years I mailed small packages to Europe, with the simple to fill out customs forms, for $10 to $15.
No way is there $65 worth of stamps on your little package.
Shame on that seller.

Oh crap! :( What a frustrating thing.  First I pay an arm and leg to have it shipped to me and had to wait 3 weeks and now this. :(

Kats are you snowed in or blown away, or are you gone south for the winter

I bought these ..

I'm afraid to use them

4 weigh 14G and 4 weigh 15G

I made the measurement on my wife's precision scale

I think if I decide to use them, I will install interleaved

What do you think about ????

A pretty important part of any scooter's performance and reliability. I would hesitate to put $9 knock-off parts in my 300cc scooter.

You're right. It's the same thing as buying an Iphone and using plastic cover for protection

But here in Brazil we come up with a problem. The purchasing power.

The minimum wage here is about 970 BLR

A set of Dr Pulley rollers costs 350 BLR

you can make them all the same Wt.  get a larger drill then the hole and just touch it to the brass metal and weigh it to see how much came off,  1 gram is very small

De dee, genius! But practical as well. It occured to me this is how they got that 14.5 gram weight! 4 at 14 grams and 4 at 15 grams, each weight placed opposite and staggered. Fulfills the spec weight but I doubt it was dynamically the same!

Not nessasarily.... I also have different weight rollers on my 350DT..4 weigh 14 gr and 4 weigh 16g.You get the best of both worlds. Lower and higher RPM speeds.
BTW.. I gave a DT200 modified to a DT 350
Hope this helps!
