🚴 Bicycle belts are stronger and more durable than chains, lasting up to three to four times longer.
⚙️ Belt drives require less maintenance, with no need for grease or lubrication, and stay clean.
🔇 Belts run silently and are particularly effective in adverse riding conditions.
🚲 Belts on bicycles save time and minimize maintenance and repairs.
⚙️ Belts are not compatible with derailleur gears and require special frames.
💰 Belts have a higher upfront cost but longer wear life compared to chains.
🚲 Belts on bikes last longer than timing chains.
💰 Belt drive bikes can be pricey, ranging from $599 to five figures.
⚡️ Most belts are approved for e-bike use, with specific torque limits.
🔧 Belt splitters can be added to frames for a better user experience, but it's important to use a frame engineered for belt use.
🔩 Belt maintenance involves periodic cleaning to remove debris, and lubrication to prevent noise in dry environments.
⚖️ Belt tension can be set using sliding rear dropouts or adjustable eccentric bottom bracket shells, and smartphone apps can help determine the correct tension.
📏 Gates provides a calculator on their website to find the right belt length based on frame chainstay length and gear ratio.
🚲 Gates dominates the belt drive market, but other manufacturers like Veer also offer interesting designs.
🚲 Belts are now considered better than chains on bicycles.
⚙️ Gates Carbon Drive offers different drivetrains with varying performance and materials.
🔧 Factors affecting belt wear and breakage include cycling conditions, torque, tension, and alignment.
🔑 Insufficient tension, loose sprockets, and poor alignment can cause belt damage.
⚙️ The efficiency of belt drive depends on the scenario and power output, but differences are minimal.
📊 Worn belts are more efficient than worn chains after 5,000 and 10,000 kilometers.
🚲 Belts are more efficient than chains on bicycles over long distances.
⚡ Tension plays a minor role in cycling speed when using belt drives.
🔧 Belt drives are durable, low maintenance, and suitable for touring, commuting, and recreational riding.
