Re: pic: Spectrum Fall 2013 Drivetrain
I'm a skeptic. Why should I like geared drivetrains?
At least in my mind, a timing belt drivetrain is both lighter and more efficient, and a chain drive is much easier to build and quicker to fix. I do see that chains and belts becoming de-tensioned is a disadvantage, but the solution to this is a cam or exact c-c system. Is there some specific advantage that gears offer over belts or chain that can't be attained in either system?
