Re: Encoders for 2015 Season

The E4P (us digital) encoders are okay if installed properly. The S4 series with ball bearings are far superior.

My favorite encoders are the greyhill ones. They're more expensive and a tiny bit larger, but they are quite strong. You should have no problem putting a sprocket/pulley on the end of the shaft. You'll gain a lot of reliability and a much larger margin of error for relatively insignificant losses.
