We're seriously considering using the round belting for a mechanism this year. One of the ideas I have in mind I either saw or heard about in the past, is to use something like 1.5" nominal ABS sewer pipe, and put short sections of 2" pipe, split lengthwise to make it just a little smaller, over the 1.5" pipe, leaving a short gap wherever a bolt goes. The outer pipe sections could be screwed to the inner one. The inner pipe would be supported at the ends by caps with bearing holes bored in the center, and a sprocket would be screwed to one end of the pipe.
