Default Are these pulleys efficient? from fleabay

I am wanting to replace my stock pulleys with some aluminum ones and just wondering if any of you think these will be good ones to get.

thanks!

What do you mean by efficient? Are they underdrive pulleys? You will save a couple of pounds of weight but if they are the same size as stock there won't be any other differences.

And if the diameters or belt groove depth/width is different you'll make 957 trips to the parts store trying to get the correct belt.

Since there's no link to the fleabay listing, it's hard to say....

I changed mine from some original size chrome ones to some aluminum ones that were slightly smaller in diameter and they have worked out well.

Need to see what you're talking about...
