Darn, I should have waited. I paid $35 for shipping from PEFI! Oh well, it's only money....

I'm going to have a fix for post wear. Had some sample bushings machined late last year and just now getting around to test fitting them. Should be around a $20 fix.

Are they on your website yet?

 

[hibshman25]

No, not yet. Making some changes to original prototype samples so don’t have them finalized yet.

K keep us posted…will need two, starting sled maintenance real soon…

It sure is pretty fits bang on.

The arm is well engineered, but is the skate better than a wheel? Wouldn't a wheel be less parasitic, albeit very slightly?

I believe you can still run the wheel if you want. I have been running the skate with no issues

Actually the bend radius on the skate is actually smoother because the radius of the skate is larger than the wheel. There might be a little higher coefficient of friction, but not something I'd worry about on a trail sled.

You can not run the wheel, it will not fit the billet tensioner.

I installed the PEFI skate in my 2017 before this past season and it is a very nicely built piece.

I contacted pefi out of curiosity. They confirmed that you can use the roller wheel with there HD tensioner. When you purchase the arm you have the option of buying it with or without the skate

I’m only telling you what I have firsthand experience with. The stock roller will not fit into the billet tensioner. It bottoms out before you can line the pin up with the hole.

Interesting. I wonder if there are different sizes on the wheels?

Is there a reason that you seem to want to run the wheel? The skate works, and as stated above, puts less radius on the chain.

Not me Been running the skate with no problems
Someone else was asking which was better and I thought they were interchangeable on that tensioner when they aren’t despite what the manufacturer says lol
