Also, one of the big benefits for the west coast drive is it's maintainability. When designing something always ask yourself what do I do if X breaks, how do I repair or replace X? What happens if you break a belt? Right now it looks like you'd have to remove and disassemble part of the transmission in order to do that. That's probably going to be a lengthy repair. I would recommend using 25 chain instead.

Even if the numbers are in your favor, it's best to have the ability to repair something rather than leave it to chance. You never know what could happen.

Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong and yeah: use #25 chain (weight saver).
