Can anyone positively ID these, bought in adelaide circa 2000, more than likely kent but no markings that i can find.
are these the pulleys with issues?
Also reflects the change in exchange rates, I paid $200 each for these in 99/2000, current list price ex Burtons inc freght AU$165

They look OK. IIRC the steel ones are ok. It was the alloy leg ones (the legs where thinner and more defined like a star than those in your photos) that cracked. Not sure on brands.

Steve those ones you've got are the first generation Kent pully's which in all steel were fine but the alloy ones wore quite badly. The ones that gave the problems were the early current shape Kent pullys which cracked where the spokes joined the inner hub but they've have given them decent radius' and seemed to have fixed the ut should be kept an eye on with big lift short duration cams that will get rev'd hard
