I always though that the belt cogs use the same thread as a normal cog, and that they need also a lock ring.

That would be the case with the threaded belt pulleys, but I'm pretty sure the District Carbon uses a splined pulley on a cassette rotor.

mdcc, you may be right, you know much that me
what I had see is this

saves them designing a new hub system at least.

does anyone actually sell the belt drive components at the moment ? I'd love to get my hands on it.

Gates seem to be supplying only to OEMs at the moment

although there's nothing to stop the enterprising amateur from making their own belt drive with off the shelf toothed belt components available from drive factors and a bit of machine work to interface it all to the bike parts.

The Gates parts are horribly expensive in t'shops, complete drives from about $300

How do you manage to get a lockring spanner on that lockring?

modify lockring tool, socket type of thing??

Like this, but splined to match your lock ring:

Even better, get your lockring splined to match the universal external BB tool :-) If I ever have to get my local lathe artist to make some custom lockrings, they'll fit that tool, not an old fashioned hook wrench.

I scrape my face off of the floor as a brake. It's pretty low.

They hit a fair few trees on the way through the ugly forest though. Function over form for sure.

Definately, but certainly interesting...

Think this is a repost... Bike looks a little confused but again amazin engineering

Also check out the gearboxed bikes on there...

the first nicolai is a repost, i had an argument with mdcc_tester about it, and i posted it...

i love the lambda st, one day, one day...
