..4.7 gram rollers..
« on: December 20, 2009, 03:25:37 AM »
..installed a set of Leo Vince 4.7 gr rollers..

..wow...

..The increase in acceleration speed is significant..

..the cvt downshift when going up steep hills is way more pronounced..much better at hill climbing, especially at take-off..

..I still have 50 mph downhill, while my average flat land speed may have increased by 1 or2 mph...

..the Leo Vince's are a bit different than any other roller i've used..

..they have a molded side that is supposed to be pushed by the wall of the flite in the variator...

..supposed to help them roll a bit smoother..

..so far me heap big happy!!

peace

I might have to look into that, do you happen to have any pics of the ones you used?  I'm not visualizing what exactly you mean!

Just can't stop toying with these things! Gotta love it. Check out Dr. moto on scooter invasion. He is splicing a Zoomer drive train/ front end on a Rucas frame. I can here the dealer now "What is the year/ make/ model...  WHAT? A Yamonda RUMOR??? WHAT? 2001-2006??? No we don't carry parts for that sir!"

I saw that!  Looks like a real cool project!  I'm getting close on the Vento, just have to order a couple things, and possibly pull the carb and clean it again.  I'm hardly getting any adjustment to my mix screw and it won't come out!  Is it normal on some carbs for the screw not to come out, or it just really stuck?

I have another NC/50 Basket case if you're interested. The only parts missing are the stator (avg$ 49. ) on ebay, and a case gasket ($27. ) honda dealer. 25-30mph tops though. Pm me if you're interested, You will have to find/ make cables. I used all of them... Bicycle/ MiNi Bike stuff works just fine.

I have had the spring bind before. Sort of gets tighter as you try to remove the screw. They ALL have to come out. If you get scared of breaking the screwdriver slot, maybe a pair of mini vise grips.

Slinger- those look nice rollers!  I see what you mean about the small lip around the edge.  I'm still a fan of the Dr. Pulley sliders though i may give those Leo's a try.

Zombie-  I figured it had to come out, it just really binds up!  I'm only getting maybe two turns of adjustment out of it.  I will try and mess with it a bit more tomorrow.  Not sure about getting vise-grips on it.  It won't unscrew enough to stick out past the recess!

..I've never tried the sliders...though I'm interested in doing so...

..i wanted to try out something lighter than the 5.5s i've been preaching on for so long...

..like the 4.7s way better...

The trick is to find the ideal weight using rollers, then switch to the sliders.  The sliders cost are a bit more than even nice rollers!  I've been waiting (for money) to get some upgraded final drive gears to figure out which weight I will need.  Once I get it dialed in, I will get some sliders to go back in the variator.

..will the Dr Pulley sliders work in the Malossi variator?
