FS: Gates CDX 22t &24t 9 spline pullies

Bought this wanting to up the gearing on my singlespeed but my maths was off and there wasn't enough throw in my ebb to get the belt tight. So it was fitted to the hub, the wheel put in the bike then taken right back off again.

For full disclosure, it came from Aliexpress. My current set up is Aliexpress front and rear pulleys with a belt that was oe on a Cube bike. The rear pulley I was using before the one I'm currently using was also from Aliexpress and I have no qualms or complaints about the quality of them. It's my feeling that they aren't faked items, rather they are genuine Gates items and are just either out the backdoor of the factory that makes them for Gates or they are unpackaged OE items out the back door of factories that are using them on bikes or something.

Think it cost me about £70 all in, I'll offer it for £50 posted to you.

As a fellow Carbon gates user, I wanted to know are the Aliexpress prices a lot lower than on the Gates website? Or are Aliexpress faster to dispatch than Gates from Europe?

I don’t get prices/see how to buy on Gates’ own site, https://www.gatescarbondrive.com/products/rear-sprockets/19t-9-spline-smn-cdx

Only UK sources I’d found were two sellers on eBay using the same photos, Olson Bicycles and BishBashBosh or something. They were around the £80-100 mark so the savings by going to Aliexpress weren’t that great admittedly but it lures you in with the ex-vat price dunnit.

Gates has another website (it is Europe based) to buy from, that is where I got all my setup from

But it does seem like you can make a small (20/30 quid) saving going with Aliexpress, will keep that in mind next time I need new parts

Adding this lightly used 24t now that I have gone back to an IGH which uses the 3 lobe pulleys.

£40 for this one and I'll knock a fiver off the unused 22t and do it for £45.

Don’t want to be that guy, but aren’t these also on eBay

Don’t want to be that guy,

But you will be...?

Yes they are also on ebay, but on here they have had a hefty discount applied.

Guess I better close the thread now I've been 'busted'. Anyone that's interested and wanted them with the forum discount, sorry, @user68025 says I'm not allowed to.
