Belt Drive vs Chain
The benefits of a belt over a chain are:-
- Life - Lab testing has shown the Carbon Drive belt to last more than twice the life of chains.
- Light Weight - The entire system, 2 pulleys and a belt, weighs less than just a typical chain.
- No Stretch - The Carbon Drive belt does not stretch over time like a chain. This means you don't have to re-tension the belt, or replace the belt due to stretch. This also means no excessive wear on pulleys due to stretch.
- Smooth - The instant engagement of the Carbon Drive system gives an unparalleled smoothness that chains can't meet.
- No Noise - The Carbon Drive belt is virtually silent.
- No Lubrication - The Carbon Drive belt does not need lubrication to keep it running smooth and silent; this means no grease on your hands, socks or pants.
