      Tree pruning would win that battle in my life. Good luck with the tax, luckily my cycling business is reasonably easy.

    This whole system as well as the wheel is a really old wheel. My worry is not the belts its all the other parts-wheel head bearings -shaft pulleys all are so old replacement is an issue-looking at the guts its a three belt drive-very old school. You can call skutt and see whats available for this wheel. If its Zero than forget it. The belts are all findable-the other parts are the issue. This is a rope controlled pedal which has its own issues as well.I threw on one of these about 40 years ago. I would hold out for a modern wheel. Mark

    This is an older wheel it looks like-make sure the wheel head is true(not bent) when spining. Its been to many years since I threw on this to tell you anything else the foot pedal should work well as well. Mark

    CI sold out long ago and many of its products are now made offshore -my take is quality went to pieces The new american way.The mother company is speedball with a huge range of products I use an old CI square steel stand next to my brent wheel to store bats and my throwing clay pieces.Its well amde and has a solid plastic top with a hole in it from the wheel head penetration.

    Maybe the pulley/belt is rubbing on the under deck? Mark
