I wish I had gotten the gmaxx single speed route right from the start. Like you, I bought 2 UE steel idler gears because that’s what the stock tranny required. With the gmaxx single speed conversion, you will only use 1 idler gear. If I had known that at the time, I could have only bought one idler gear from UE and used the $$ saved on the 2nd one towards the conversion kit. Those idler gears were expensive. Now I have a back-up idler gear although I can't imagine one of those would go.
I know what you mean. The stock tranny is almost bullet proof once you replace the idler gears. You are right.. they were expensive... a bit much in my opinion, but I knew I needed them so I made the purchase. That is part of this hobby I guess. Live an learn. Sometimes you learn after the fact. Like you.... had I known about the forward only... I probably would have gone that route from the begining. I knew the BL setup would rock, but never guessed it would render the low gear useless. Like you said.. I will have a back up should the need ever arise. Thanks again for the info.
