Re: ball shifter vs wcp ds

I want to bring this up simply because I have not read much on this exact thing. Although belts with the WCD are quiet and smooth, your bound to put yourself in a bad repair if one breaks. From our experience, we had to have a second gearbox ready when using cots transmissions with belts because you cant just put a new belt through metal. We have on the other hand, broke chain and been able to rivet a new, pre-made, chain section in without removing a thing. This might not make a difference when you have 15 minute breaks, but between finals 1 and 2...it is a huge thing.
That being said, we now love WCD and are continuing to try new things with it. Good luck!
-Ronnie
