I dont get it, why dont people just buy the catcams one? It looks ten times better than that Dildo one and they're roughly the same price. Had one for years, it's the shit.

yeah, that does seem slightly dodgy!! Order one at £105 and then a week later, the price rockets up to £200. DO you still buy it? FUCK NO!

I've got a Cat Cams one, impressed with degree pin adjustment increments they have :)

likely to be a fair bit more now tohugh due to exchange rates.  I'm in the middle of getting a quote now so I'll post up once I know.  They are just asking me to confirm number of teeth etc... so I need to measure my standard one up.

Yeah i recon that it will be around £130-140 now from looking at thier site. Let me know what price you get quoted Paul and see if a group buy for 5 is on the cards maybe? - (just a suggestion)

yes I will do, just measured up my pulley now and it is what QEP thought it would be which is 52 teeth, 131mm outer dia with trapezoidal tooth profile (this is what we call a "round tooth" one).  Their part code is CTVW028.  Will hopefully have a price to post tomorrow, will also ask about a price for 5 too.

I recon it will worth getting 5 if the saving is substantial enough. I agree with the part number from looking at thier site.. Look forward to getting the price. sterling work paul

right, got a price from QEP for the catcam vernier.  It is £109.77 + delivery + Vat . 

So you are talking getting on for £140 including delivery and VAT.

They said they don't do group buys or any kind of quantity price breaks direct to customers because it annoys their trade resellers.
