TRT

Thanks for the thorough answer, @Pfanner man. Really interesting stuff with regard to the differences in the trees, and not what I was expecting.

The Bay Area must have brutal traffic and really high cost of living, I'm guessing? Hopefully the gorgeous weather takes some of the sting out.

Thanks for the e-mail address and your willingness to communicate; it means a lot, and adds even more value to an already great video series.

...the major benefit i derived was being able to take a natural crotch redirect without pulling all the tail of my line up to drop it thru, i just shifted the connection point down to me. how you proceeded at this point depends on if you intended to come back out of that redirect or not, it was a bit slower if you wanted to go back the way you came. either way you could set it up to be retrieved with a lil strategizing...

DMM Captain, which I have reservations about after using the Epple Hook for so long. The internal shape of the hook plus its overall weight make it prone to getting stuck, never a good thing. That said, there are placement settings individual to it that sometimes are very helpful.
 
Don't want to derail this thread; whenever you feel like Paul - love to hear more of your thoughts on the DMM vs the Eppel (which do you ultimately prefer?) on the DMM Hook thread...

Now I know @oceans has the welding skills make a flat profile pulley for the RR and one made out of the right kind of wood as @moss suggested would be cool but i have wanting to find an off the shelf bearing to use on my own setup. So far I have not had the time to research this. Then today I find this guy has already done just that.


I translated his blog but I am not see where and what size bearings he has used. I am hoping that @SoftBankHawks may be able to shed some light the bearings used by daigentanoen.

I know him a little, will drop him a line.

Than is a good idea and I will investigate. Do you think it is a single bearing or a pair of bearings.

I would say Kevin is correct with the rollerblade bearing. It looks like he has 2 of them side by side. From what I have seen the inside diameter of that type of bearing is 8 mm. What is the shaft on the runner?

The skate bearings were actually my first thought, but wanted to keep the nice profile of the stock RR axle and nuts. I didn't have anything on hand to alter for the thinner axle. I'll poke around and see what I can cook up, but I did choose just filling the sheave with weld because...because. It was the quickest thing on hand.
 
The common skateboard bearings, 608, are 8mm core, a 22mm outer diameter and a 7mm width. I think these will be too small.

I am going to try the 6001-2RS 12x28x8 sealed ball bearing and the 99R8 R-Series Radial Bearing, Double Seal, 1/2" ID, 1-1/8" OD, 0.3125" Width and see how they fit the RR.
