 |  
				| Anybody running the Ronstan Orbit pulleys? 
 I do my best to keep the stock pulleys clear but it's a chore especially in winter on the coast......wet fine grains eventually end up in the shaft-way.....
 
 I just got some RPMS......ah caramba!  4 pulleys....

 Sorry, should have been a bit clearer in the recommendation.
 
 We do not sell the Ronstan pulleys, sorry.
 
 But, by utilizing a proper Dry Teflon Lubricant, such as McLube, then you may find that your pulleys will work very nicely and you'll end up saving $80-$110 in upgrades that you would spend on the Ronstans.
 
 You're welcome.

				| I have used  Mclube for the last four years and it works great.  I spray my pulleys, center line spinner and center hole in kitebar every couple of weeks in season. Works really well.  Pulleys roll, spinners spin, and center lines don't wear.

				| naish.com has them 
 they are kind of pricey, but when we checked last they were on par with ronstan's own prices...
