The pulley listed is a DNA fat spoke pulley....I assume these pulleys are new from them because they are NOT even listed on thier site yet + i've never seen them on any bike.

The pic above with the super spoke pulley blow out was from misalignment if i read his thread correctly before. But there are thousands with no issues at all. From my experience with DNA they have a great product.

I would stick a skinny spoked pulley on my ride if it wasn't for that $500.00 + price tag.

Spoked pulley have a killer look.. fat or skinny

Problem with DNA's website is they haven't updated since something like '06, which is the last catalog they list. You have to search their vendors to find out what's currently available.

I agree they've got some nice stuff, and I'll probably be ordering up some shortly. The wire spoke pulleys look great, but they're pretty spendy. I think American Wire Wheel has a cross laced one, iirc, but it was $5-600. Too rich for my blood.

Very cool, but I've already got the Super Spoke pulley waiting to be installed.

Be carefull is right. I bought the DNA wheels and rotors, and the Mammoth spoke pulley lasted 4 weeks and 5 spokes snapped clean and every other spoke was loose. Little to no help from DNA but they said send it back and they will have it fixed. They just are not that strong at all stay away from spoke pulley all together go to KC international and get the billet Super Spoke Pulley it is one piece and will not give you the headach of taking your wheel of 7 or 8 times to tighten and fix spokes. But the wheels are nice with no issues bo leaking problems just spacing issues with the rear rim.

Any 1st hand experiences with this pulley? That company I ordered mine from never came thru with it and I just got my $ back from my credit card company. I'm trying to decide if the risk is worth the potential reward or not.
