Please leave your thoughts on using a second pulley as an idler in a pulley belt assembly. Obviously it would need to rotate so perhaps attached to a shaft and two bearings. It seems every idler I've seen simply uses a few side by side bearings constrained by washers. Disadvantages to this? Belt teeth wear? Wouldn't think it'd be much worse than the constant flattening a bearing imposes.
