It seems like many teams just use 1.5x2, but there's no need to constrain yourself to it.

Saving space is nice, but my main reason for designing this was an exercise in whether or not I could fit a belt-in-tube drivetrain with 15mm belts into a 2x1.5. When I have the time (aka, offseason) I like to give myself tight constraints in an effort to force myself to think outside the box.

(or inside the tube... eyyyyy)
