Drive Belt vs. Chains

[SPFDEXP]

Ok thanks. Do you have any experience with them? Do you know how reliable they are and if they're better than the chains from previous years? We have never used belts and we need as much information regarding belts.

If you don't know much about belts, it would probably be better to use chain, since they can be daunting. We haven't had many problems with either, though. The important part is that in either case, you make sure to include some way to adjust tension.

The reason we're looking at belts is to cut down on weight for climbing. Do you have any pictures of your drivetrain with belts?
