I saw one belt-drive bike last weekend at a shop, but i can't for the life of me remember who'd built it. It was a singlespeed, and there was a sort of clamping chain/belt tensioner used on the track end where the stays met to clamp them together. To change the belt you'd presumably remove that tensioner and slide the belt through the gap between stays at the fork end. I don't think anyone is working on a breakable belt, otherwise nobody would be going to such drastic measures as finding ways to break apart the chainstay on the bike. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Bicycle Lifestyle" group.
