people's rational fear of drivetrain losses

Not many are in to belt drive, so even fewer, read pretty much zero, are in to belt drive fixed.
Possibly just a numbers game. I also remember stuff about the tension requirements to be high enough to damage hub bearings when run fixed. Could be nonsense though, Tester will probably confirm.

@PhilDAS
Is a belt drive fixed gear a stupid idea?
I know Schindelhauer and a few others do and have done it but it doesn't appear to be popular. Is it just the cost and people's irrational fear of drivetrain losses?
