Not really. I mean i'm sure it's possible if you're able to machine your own parts but i don't think you can buy the parts seperately.

Try searching in the Your gear section, under Other Gear

Some you can, DW 5000's for instance, though it's a bit of work, you can change out the sprockets for the strap as the rest of the pedal is the same. However, by the time you buy the "spare parts" to do it, it MIGHT me better just to buy a used version of the other you want.

I usually use a DW 5000 cam sprocket, so I was lucky and found a DW 5000 strap drive on eBay for $80 bucks, it's like NEW so it was WELL worth it.

It's easy to convert a DW 5000 from strap to chain or vice-versa. I converted both my DW5000s from chain to strap because I got tired of getting oil on my clothing when transporting the pedals as the chains would always come off the sprockets in transit and I'd have to put them back on. Straps are much cleaner and I notice absolutely no differnce in feel.

But it is expensive. It was like $25 for each conversion kit, ordered through GC after calling DW to find out what exactly I needed to order. But I am glad I made the switch.

If anyone wants to buy a couple of DW5000 chains and sprockets, I'll sell them cheap!
