Re: Chain vs. Belts?!?

Whatever you choose, make sure you have good alignment. We had a regional last year where we broke about nine belts because of poor/weird alignment. We also had to disassemble the third stage of our gearboxes for at least six of those belts, so we basically got so sick of replacing belts that we went with #25 chain this year. But again, alignment.

Also, be sure you can tension your chain because it will stretch.

As a FIRST Alum, it's nice to be able to eat dinner again. That is, until I get off the meal plan and have to start feeding myself.
