 Why is it considered shameful to do the smart thing? As the saying goes, "I don't make the rules, I just live by them."

Re: Timing Belts for 6W Drive
Just stick with chain... it works. I've seen a couple teams try timing belts, and I haven't heard anything positive yet. Timing belts are very tough to do in high load situations, chains are designed for higher loads. Why change what's proven to work?

Re: Timing Belts for 6W Drive
V-belts require very high tension to work which equals high friction and inefficiency. Timing belt is a much better option in every factor except perhaps cost although it is definitely worth it to not use v belt
