Re: Alternatives to Pinion and Spur Gears
The urethane belt joining kit is not worth the cost. You can make your own clamping and joining jig for little to no cost, and use something like a "Hot Knife for Her" from your local Michael's crafts store to melt the ends.
You can also use timing belts.
On the gear reduction, you probably do want something up around 16:1 or slightly more.
