@ndwallick THANK YOU I’ve been looking for a good source of belts for a while

where do you buy them from? is it for flywheels?

44

where do you get the sprockets from?

i tried both systems, the time to replace a chain or a belt is the same, just remouve the tensione and replace. So i prefer the chain, i tried to drive in the dirt in the forest, with out do any maintenace to the chain, for many many kilometers, no oil, no washing, just only for test the resistance. So i see if you buy a good quality chain pinion and crown you can ride really for kilometers and kilometers. with all of dirt i burned one motor but not the chain.

So i think maybe the belt it’s more beautiful to see, but i think it’s not comparable with a chain. I’m not telling that one is good and the other not, but telling only that are two different style not comparable
