Where folks buying clutch pucks?

[Dave31]

I'd love to buy some if CE has made them yet. No one sells round ones but boygofast and i dont do paypal. Fairacing, i made mine from tire sidewall but the rubber is too soft. I picked clumps out of the gears inside after 30 miles but i does work, doubt if it lasts long unless i wear down to a better surface.

Yeah, I thought about side walls and was looking at them and I do believe they will be too soft. I do have a huge section of a very large conveyor belt and it is a lot harder then a tire carcass. But it is thinner then my pads already.

I will be very proud if I can find something in my junk to work.

why wont sombody tell the thickness of new clutch pucks,I've seen the question in several places here

 

[Lord Helmet]

Most of the motors new are working. Be nice to know what it is.

I will measure some tomorrow.. That is the first thing i do to a new engine is tear it apart esp the clutch. the pads are always mashed into the holes i take them all out and tailor fit them so they float never ever ever ever had any clutch problems.

They don't sound very grippy though.

Corgi1, 3/16" are what my old ones are and they dont work anymore, i made 1/4" ones from sidewall rubber that grab and release perfectly. I also picked a bit of crumbled rubber out of my gears at the crank and clutch hub after a 30 mile ride.

Today, i installed a new set of round pads shipped from BGF. Rick personally called me for my visa info since i do not play the paypal, $10 to my door. Each pad must be sanded to fit, and i used a dremel to get a perfect round edge, very messy if your afraid to breathe the dust...i went for it and did a good nose-blow BGF even sent a extra pad. And they are 1/4" thick.

Thanks,much needed imfo

Why dont anyone do paypal?

 

[fritznbud]

They have more bad news from people that have been "turned and burned" than any company should be allowed to. More lawsuits from doing wrong, keeping cash.....terrible paypal experiences from too many people.

 

[corgi1]

Glad I can't get it too work for me ,I know I got about $7 one time long ago and couldn't get an account started,I sure that loss and sign up problem put me money ahead from the stories through the years,I hope they enjoyed their little 7 dollar theft

 

[muddybike]

So come on fess up who burnt you , lemme know the site?

 

[corgi1]

couldn't get pay pal to open a account,I'd say PP burned me

 

[Dave31]

I have pp account and can't access it anymore? I had to open a new one using a family member.

 

[corgi1]

What happens if the PP acount denies access when there is a bunch of your money in their control ?

 

[Dave31]

I have no ideal, luckily there was no money in mine.

 

[Dave31]

Here is my pucks with over 13,000 miles on them and they are 17/64" thick.

They are very hard and brittle and I kinda screwed one up trying to get it out.
