I couldn't find them anywhere else. Whipple wants $140 ea.

I don't understand why the radix pulleys are so much cheaper.

They seriously want that much for them? DAMN. That is robbery for even an inferior product. I used to get them for $65 directly from Whipple before I knew aluminum was a poor choice for making pullies. For that kind of money, get one custom made from steel. The aluminum pullies Whipple is so proud of are anodized. The coating comes off in the grooves after many miles and the exposed aluminum wears badly. Steel is much better. Kenne Bell knows aluminum pullies are not durable that's why theirs are steel.

My Kenne Bells are steel however I dont believe they will fit a whipple, mine have one single bolt in the center of the pulley.. Whipple owners how are yours set up?
