With this info I can calculate it to tell you how long the new belt needs to be.

and the 51/2 diameter... is this in inches, centimeters, what?

no, i need to know the size of the original pulley, not the belt


you sure it's inches, that would make your crank pulley 25.5" in diameter...

wait, that still doesn't make sense, because that would make the original pulley smaller than the new one.

you said the new pulley is smaller.

is the new pulley smaller or bigger than the old one?
