New type of weight adjustible CVT rollers
« on: September 22, 2025, 04:47:49 PM »
Found this (for me) new kind of weight adjustable CVT rollers on a french website.

 Producers (distributers) claim this rollers to be adjustable by putting a certain number of short metal rods into its body until desired weight.

 Do this six times, have a test-run, re-adjust if necessary and be a happy scooterist.

 Saw it until now for PIAGGIO only and certain sizes, but they might come in different hight and widht to meet other scooter requirements too (pls see pic).
If anybody has some experience, please chime in.

Interesting concept.  Adjustments of 1/10 gram is tempting.  Wonder about the durability of these rollers, though.
2014 BV 350  "IndiGO" (fast, strong and tireless)
2006 Honda Rebel 250  "Snow Leopard" (stealthy, agile and durable)
2018 Lance Cali Classic 200i  "Black Panther" (smooth, nimble, quiet and quick)
2016 Wolf V-50 (sold)

Wanted a Kymco, ended up w a Lance, but that forum is inactive, so I am here

Rollers (or sliders) are cheap ($5/up), just buy a few sets with different weights and try them.

With 4 different scooters I've never had to adjust the rollers to my liking more than twice.
I guess if one likes to putz around with their scooter.....
(you know with a lift, sitting on a chrome stool, rolling around - killing an afternoon.......etc.)

I prefer to ride it.
I know - "I can get in there and put in new rollers in 4 minutes!"

Good on you.
I'll be 2 miles down the road on my way for coffee.....

Just sayin'.....
