Melvin Pulleys

A pair of two sealed-bearing aluminum pulleys for a Melvin chain tensioner.

Machined in Chico California to the highest tolerances. It takes a LOT of miles to wear these out, so if you need to replace yours, we’re impressed!

$31.00

Technical Information

Product Story

*These pulleys are not compatible with our 1st generation Melvin that used plastic pulleys.

*Pulleys made before 8/12/25 fit most 6 through 9 speed chains, and pulleys made after 8/12/25 fit most 6-12 speed chains. The newer 12-speed compatible pulleys can be identified by the little groove machined into the tip of the pulley teeth, as seen in this photo:

This bike is getting bonkers!✨ Stop by our booth at Made to see it in person, or head over to @oakridgetrailsalliance for a chance to make it yours!

Our friends @spurcycle just stopped by our booth t Our friends @spurcycle just stopped by our booth to install this sweet hand polished dinger 🔔 onto the #CascadeCougar. This bike just gets shinier and shinier! 🤩
We didn’t say the #CascadeCougar would be a “re-cr We didn’t say the #CascadeCougar would be a “re-creation” of Mr Paul’s old Salsa, we said it would be INSPIRED by it, and @blackcatbicycles was definitely inspired! This painstaking geometrically masked rainbow fade with chrome lettering was finished with a clearcoat and well, just WAIT until you see this thing dipped in polished parts! ✨🤩✨As for the last pic… we’ll take bad photoshop over A.I. any day of the week. 😂 Thanks for the photos @mybucketsgottaholeinit 📷
Our friends at @wolf_tooth_comp sweetened the pot Our friends at @wolf_tooth_comp sweetened the pot by sending over a pair of sweet Waveform pedals for the #CascadeCougar Oakridge Trails fundraiser project. These puppies come in two sizes, 9 different colors, and are 100% user serviceable. The question is… will we really have this bike built in time for the @made.bike show this weekend?!
It can be a little tricky building up a drop-bar b It can be a little tricky building up a drop-bar bike with super wide-range 1X mountain bike gearing using cable actuated disk brakes like our Klampers, but one solution is to throw a @ratiotechnology 12-speed adapter into a SRAM 11-speed “brifter”. Modrone was generous enough to send us this SICK Jab rear derailleur that’s configured specifically for the #CascadeCougar, with a barrel-adjuster and Ratio specific throw. These derailleurs are fully rebuildable, re-configurable, CNC machined, and feature adjustable linkage springs and clutches. Very badass, thanks @madronecycles!
