Re: Live vs. Dead axles

We always use dead axles, but we use Brecoflex belts and pulleys. We are able to slide the dead axle out and drop the whole tread system out of the machine. Because we don't use any chain, (spur gear drive right to the wheel/pulley), we don't run into some of the problems that have been discussed above.
