We have on the other hand, broke chain and been able to rivet a new, pre-made, chain section in without removing a thing. This might not make a difference when you have 15 minute breaks, but between finals 1 and 2...it is a huge thing.
That being said, we now love WCD and are continuing to try new things with it. Good luck!

That's a very good point. In my experience I have never had a belt break, although it is good to have a easy way of fixing it if a belt does break.
