#BikeTooter mixes with #3dprinting. We'll see how these derailleur pulleys work on my computer bike with old Shimano 8-speed RSX. Going from bushings to bearings should be a nice change too. If these hold up, it'll be nice to do this for our MTBs that routinely eat pulleys up. @3dprinting
Well, they're in place and initial impressions are favorable. They're quiet and with bearings spin nicely. Did some brutal shifting on a quick shakedown and all the teeth are still there. #BikeTooter #3dprinting
@idropyou Whoa! What filament did you use - ABS, Nylon?
@Miq This first attempt is just PLA.
@idropyou "whoa!" squared... I never would have thought PLA could stand the forces. My bet would have been the gears would break within minutes. Impressive.
@Miq I'll print another set to keep as spares should they give up on a ride. We'll see how they do. Always fun to try stuff out and see what happens.
@idropyou
How about making these open source?
