 Just WOW!
RT White Million.jpg
Based upon sales in the past year and factoring an average mileage of 10,000 miles ridden per Spyder (and we all know how low an estimate that is), that comes out to ONE MILLION MILES. Now, that my fellow ryders is many miles of smiles!!!

How many Revolutions?
OK, may some of the more mathematically-inclined ryders can calculate the number of total revolutions our rollers would make in 1 million miles??
Let's see: 5,2080 feet in a mile times (1 3/4" diameter times 3.14) times 1 million.....or something like that.

Congrats !
Congrats Doc on the success of your product.
I will have you replace the one on my F3 sometime this season and add one to the RTS if we find the vibration as aggravating as it was on the F3.
 Love my Spyders

Any estimate on when your tensioner will be available for the ST?

Still waiting to lasso one so I can make some measurements for the adapter they will need.

Too bad I'm so far away in the Portland, OR metro area. If you're ever out my way, let me know and you can check mine out.

We are having trouble finding an ST to make measurements for an adapter. None in our area...

Alright, let me try this calculation.
*NOTE: We are using the diameter of the roller and not the bearing, which is less. But you will see how well they have worked in a year. Math folks, please correct any errors you see!
5,280 feet in a mile
63,360 inches in a mile
1 3/4 = 1.75 roller diameter
1.75 * 3.14 = 5.495
63,360 divided by 5.495 = 11530.48
So, 11,530 revolutions in one mile
1,000,000 times 11,530 = 11,530,000,000
Read outright it is: eleven billion, five hundred thirty million total revolutions.
But wait, (scratching head) there are two bearings, so that doubles the total per bearing to 23,060,000,000.
Without any bearing failures!

My Condolences on your wife's passing to a higher plateau. I do believe those with a trashed belt were talking about vehicle miles--not roller bearing distance.
Wishing you well,

So, how does having 2 bearings make the roller go twice the distance. That does not compute, unless you're using this "New Math" crap.

ST is samething as an RT. Just has a ribbed strap. (if you don't believe me, check the frame part #.) parking brake is electric as an RT. So not obstruction.
Wrote you on this a couple years ago, Doc. I installed one on mine.
