Re: Advantages/Disadvantages of West Coast Drive
While WCD maintenance, on the whole, is quite nice, one very annoying aspect is access to the belts or chains, which generally are driven by pulleys/sprockets inside the gearbox. In the case of belts, the gearbox has to be taken apart for any maintenance that requires removing the belt or putting on a new one.
