Re: Belts in a Drivetrain
I have been an advocate of 15mm timing belt over chain for drives for as long as I've had experience with both systems; there's simply less servicing, fewer failures, fewer losses, and less headache with belts.
The kitbot belt setup this year has worked wonderfully for us.
