Re: Pulley Radius: how to factor this into calculations?

Minimum bend radius is very important - the more strands, generally the smaller the acceptable radius. Have you investigated Spectra cord? Very flexible, light weight, and stronger than steel cable for a similar cross section. Teams have been using it for years.

Here's an EBay item number to 1/8" cord at a very good price---180614836330
