Get in there you belter!

Friday, 20 March 2015


I have got the 139 Dyna belt on! Which is a right result as you cannot get custom length drive belts, or at least I can't find anywhere to do them, and no shops or builders know of any place and they have been doing this game for far longer than me. 

After taking the sidewall off my rear pulley and wrestling with the belt for a bit, I squeezed it on there and now all seems fine regarding belt length.

The front pulley will need to be spaced out though, as the belt is not sitting straight. Also as the wheel is in at its minimum adjustment position the rear mud guard bracket will probably need tweaking to give the wheel some more space. 
I'm hoping the lads at P&D can modify my transmission pulley, perhaps counterbore the fixing holes or work some magic to keep the thread engagement the same while moving it, otherwise I will need to purchase an offset pulley. But I've not found any 27 teeth ones. If I go any higher on teeth the belt won't fit.

Once this is sorted I can concentrate on getting the brake controls set up and get the frame powder coated. I need some new brake levers too. The cheap ones I currently have look pants and will probably fall apart when i use them. More Ebay'ing.... It's becoming expensive.....who am I kidding....becoming!! It's already cost me a fortune!  I keep telling myself it will be worth it though.
