 I bet if anyone took a look at the 118's Bill of Materials the only thing that would be on there is hard work and that's priceless. - rcmolloy [more] |

Re: Belt vs Chain drive efficiency
I assume the testing was done on new/clean drive systems. Synchronous belts start having an efficiency advantage as chains & sprockets become worn & dirty.
A couple years ago at an off-road bicycle race the Gates-sponsored team was doing okay until it started raining and the course became muddy. Then the Gates team started passing the chain drive bikes & eventually won the race. |
