This post reminded me that I was admiring one of those Treks a couple of weeks ago, and think they are a fantastic idea. I understand that chains are something like 99% efficient. Has anyone done an experiment to see how efficient belt drives are?
I can seriously see them becoming the future of the bicycle drive if they match the efficiency of a normal chain (and I can't see any reason why they wouldn't).
