Just WOW!

[Roadster Renovations]

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!!!

 

[Chupaca]

Simply the best.....

the weather is getting nicer , be able to ride over from my area to your area , and check out your service ! and a lunch !

 

[Little Blue]

WOW

:agree: That is a LOT of Smile Miles. :thumbup:

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.

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,

There has been a thread or two concerning Doc and Roadster Renovations. He has since left the site and no one has been able to find out where to.

His products have been discussed, and it also appears that his company is out of business.

Let's let Doc and his company be at rest.

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.

This is a old thread. You will not get a answer from the posted topic.

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.

Probably should just remove this thread to eliminate confusion.

Doc is gone from the site since 11/25/2018. Business also seems to have gone away. We are going to let this thread rest.

If Doc wants to come back to the site, he knows where and how.
