HI, the trigger wheel is painted both sides, i to was a little concerned about the effect of cavitiation/corrsion but the pully wheels is quite cheap and so was the trigger wheel so if it lasts a few years its not realy a great loss just to replace them.

Crank pulley

Hi, when fitting the trigger wheel to the pulley is it best to use an aluminium pulley or will the stock steel one be ok,? Iam a bit concerned that the VR sensor will be affected by the steel pulley.
Does there need to be a clearance gap between the steel pulley to avoid any possible interference.
