Belt drive fixed

Hmm, nice cranks with a 130 BCD?
I think following DK down the Calvicula route may be a touch extreme on for my beater.

Just noticed the Spot 29er will have better drop outs for 2010.
You need three hands and a degree in mechanics to work mine :(

The type I have.

I got some Aerozine cranks, custom coated in ceramic white (hipster alert!), as they are really light for a steel axled integrated cranket.

Got them pretty cheap from this guy....

Nice to deal wih and a really fast turnover. I've been meaning to take some pics but its still dark most of the time up here.

Now you know why I got the clavicula. Only 130 BCD cranks I could find made of carbon.

Actually... not true, but I couldn't find these in stock anywhere, but they do apparently exist: http://www.sram.com/en/truvativ/road/noir/road.php

Not totally pretty, but to save dosh this was my original spec, and failing to find that I went for the Clavicula.

But if they don't have to be carbon, then any shimano road crank will do the trick plus I'm sure a bunch of other makers use the same BCD. If you want track cranks then the Stronglights are 130 and very suitable for a less blingy bike.

Looks like it could be the excuse I've always been looking for to buy some tune fastfoots.

Not that they aren't bling, I've just always wanted a pair.

I can't see where you can insert the belt, is it on the top of the seatstay?

That's the non-drive side... belt insertion is the other side.

When are they going to make this cheap... will be awesome.

it will be super awesome.

Except for the stretching obviously...

Which won't happen.

Sure it will, it's a belt.

Depends what it is made out of.

Smaller bits of belt, duh.

Not really ... stop being an idiot.

All material stretch over time include metals (in fact nothing is completely solid, put brass and iron in contact and they will flow into one another .. over hundreds of years) .... Belts can be bloody strong, all the force is along the belt .... just optimise the material to suit the stress/strain properties which are needed..... what is so hard to understand about this shit?

The bit about them not stretching.

lucas, stop falling into his trap!

The bit about them not stretching.

Some materials will not stretch under a until a certain strain is applied ... it called Hooks law .. until you reach the elastic limit it will not stretch permanently.

Look this shit up ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke%27s_law

As long as the stress doesn't reach this limit it will not stretch permanently.

lucas, stop falling into his trap!

If he acts like a cock it ain't my fault.

It's called Hooke's law ;)
