I guess my only option is to either stop picking on Dave or come up with an even better picture! Now, which one do you think I'll choose? - MissInformation [more]

Urethane vs. Neoprene Belts

Hi guys! Rookie-ish member here. I've been working on a swerve drive for offseason, and I'm going to use belts instead of chain to reduce weight.

I saw McMaster had two types of belts: urethane and neoprene. According to the description, neoprene is more flexible than urethane. Does this affect performance in any way? What has your team's experience been? What would you recommend?

Thanks lots!

-- edit: I was considering 3/8" 0.2 pitch, single sided trapezoidal teeth belts --
