Secondly, if you are trying to get rid of the gears for noise, go to econobelt or spdi, both of which have adds on this site, and purchase two pulleys for htd5 pitch belts. Get one 30 tooth and one 32 tooth. Try to purchase the narrow, 6mm or 9mm belt, whatever size they mention on the arceurotrade site. Then simply cut off the gears on each stock pulley and bore out the two aluminum pulleys you got and do a nice tight fit and toss some epoxy on there and never worry about it again. If you are scared of ruining your pulleys buy some more from grizzly, they are really cheap. This will cut the noise level nearly in half.
