Why Chains Are Still Better For Bicycles Than Belts

Theoretically a belt drive makes for a great upgrade to a bicycle, as it replaces the heavier, noisy and relatively maintenance-heavy roller chain with a zero-maintenance, whisper-quiet and extreme…

Gravel is even more fun when cleanup is a breeze.

#FotoVorschlag: #Technik, die begeistert // #Technology that inspires

Technik begeistert mich grundsätzlich nicht, ich nutze sie nur gerne. Aber aus aktuellem Anlass, live von der Fahrradtour durchs Teufelmoor: mein #Riemenantrieb ist schon ziemlich nice 😊 // I'm not a technophile, I only use technology and take it for granted. But since we're cycling around the local moor: I love my belt-drive #bicycle 😊

Bonjour! Avez-vous des recommandations pour un #lbs (#magasin / #réparateur #vélo local) spécialisée dans les entraînements à courroie (#BeltDrive) à #Montréal, idéalement dans les environs du Mile End ou de Côte-des-Neiges?

Mon vélo utilitaire / 4 saison a rendu l'âme ce matin (pour être franc j'y suis pour quelque chose la dedans 😢) et comme je voulais déjà passer aux courroies c'est l'occasion de le changer. Besoin rapidement car c'est aussi mon vélo d'hiver!

Re-pouets appréciés 🙂

Merci!

I emailed Gates:

"you shouldn’t flip your sprockets, as this will alter your beltline and negatively affect the lifespan of the drivetrain.

As far as the belt itself goes after talking with an engineer, if the drivetrain isn’t setup “fixed” and there are no braking forces being transmitted through the belt, you may find you’re able to extend the life by flipping it, but no guarantee as to how long it will last from there."
