Edit are making some EXTREMELY light weight ones, they're highly recomended, not sure on availability yet though. Sure Adam can hrow some light on that side of things. ;)

These should be out in the next month or so....

They've been designed with the following in mind:
Minimum Noise
Minimum Mass
Minimum Wear
Maximum contact area.
Minimum Cost!!!!

Jimmy has pictures of these pinions.

They are about 65-70% lighter than a standard pinion..

To give you an idea the 19T is 1.2g!!:D

That sounds intersting so what material are they made of how have you reduced the weight are they as strong as a normal pionoin???? Come on jimmy get them pics up.

Sure!!! :D

Material = Unobtanium

Part Numbers : ED200XX0

Substitue XX with the number of teeth you require.

Yes, they do have 2 grub screw holes... The weight of a hole is closer to the weight of a grub screw in a hole than the solid material... Better balance.

Unobtainium is a humorous colloquialism that refers to any extremely rare, costly, or physically impossible material needed to fulfill a given design for a given application. The name is not a portmanteau but it is derived from unobtainable + ium (the suffix for a number of elements). Variations include unobtanium and unattainium, with the same meaning.
The properties of any particular "unobtainium" depend on the intended use. For example, a pulley made of unobtainium might be massless and frictionless. However, if used in a nuclear rocket, unobtainium would be light, strong at high temperatures, and resistant to radiation damage.

Must be good stuff then :D

mattym0310 02-01-2008 05:12 PM
