Re: Where can I find gears?

I've had great luck with Boston Gear components in the past.
You will need to find a distributor close to you. This is slightly more inconvenient than McMaster's "buy it and it appears the next day" system, but working with a sales rep from a local distributor can have its perks (maybe a discount on your parts).

Good Luck,
John
