That Pulley, Ive heard they stopped making them, due to the fact of them being unsafe. Some say they will come apart. Not worth the dime if they are a health hazard

Those pulleys look so badass, but I dismissed it too after reading bad things.

I somehow missed all the neg feedback on that pulley. But it's certainly good to know, thanks. OK, that's off my wish list!

Pan, a buddy of mine put one on his Heritage and SEVERAL spokes broke off while he was going down the damn road. We thought it was just a problem in production. He called and found out that they stopped making them. The strength of the spokes cant support the torque. STAY AWAY
