Belt vs Chain drive efficiency
Found an interesting article on chain drive verses belt drive efficiency. This test was conducted with respect to single speed bikes but should apply similarly to and FRC drive system. The test was conducted by an engineer who started doing this for himself to proove out the claims of manufacturers of ceramic bearings, lubricants, and such to improve the efficienct of cycling drivetrains for racing.
