Is the fensport crank pulley any good??

[Rossco1991]

Hi guys, stripped my glanza today to do the piston rings, the bottom pully was proper stuck on there I did manage to get it off but the pulley is now f**ked, I have bin looking on the net and came across this fensport one http://www.fensport.co.uk/Parts/Model_40/Category_1/2311 has anyone used one and are they any good? Thanks

I'm running 1 bud, had it on 2 years now and haven't had any issues with it at all. The reason I went for that 1 was that it's balanced which is a must on alloy crank pulleys

Ah that's cool I heard some bad things about the light weight ones so was unsure of what todo as my pulley is now ko'd, thanks I'll be ordering one now

Yeah its the same reason I bought one lol

Being alloy lightweight and being balanced is all well and good, but its still not a harmonic damper pulley which is able to absorb vibrations. Instead those vibrations are transfered back to the thrust bearings.

Fensports crank pully is harmonicly balanced tho as states that and if you speak to them also they will confirm

Harmonically balanced and Harmonically dampened are two different things.

Off topic, you are far too clever.. Every mechanical discussion you are there and always with a very valid point.. Where and what did you study?

Haha sorry dude.

I'm a motorsport engineer and studied my degree at Oxford Brookes Uni.

If you wanna know more about what I do and have done then drop me a pm I'll be happy to run through it with you 😊
