And they're easily available in all sizes and much cheaper than the normal speed reducer. Iirc the whole thing ,pullies and belt cost around £40.

Can you post a link to where you bought your pulley? I recently ordered this 25cm pulley from amazon, still waiting for it. Yours looks more comfortable and safer (harder to get fingers caught in it.)

If I had a memory I'd be dangerous and I did this a few years ago. I'll try to find it but remember I'm in the UK and if IRC I bought it from a local engineers supply unit. They're really easy to use though because it comes in two parts. Each size of center piece is matched up with a series of sizes of the pulley itself. You marry the two with the set screws you can see at the joining point. This one has a 250mm pulley. The Adler 69 that I sold a while back had a 270mm pulley but likely had the same size center.

A bit more info in this old thread. Was a 170mm at that time, changed it again later.
