Please let us know how it goes.
This should be interesting !

+1 to that.

I don't think that I will rest until I've given belt drive a go.

Good to hear that it's all going so well. I don't want to wish your life away but I'm keen to know what it will be like after (say) 5,000 miles.

Crack on !!... ;D

2007 miles done no problems at all not even had to service in anyway (veer split belt drive) not even had to clean it if i still had a chain fitted wouild have cleaned and service every week which will cost time and money
