The distance between teeth on the belt is 11 mm.  I have just measured it.

Thanks so much, Peter.  I'd figured it might be 12.7mm to equal 1/2", but this is pretty close; enough I can get a reasonably direct comparo with my regular gear charts (and do the usual gear-inch calculation of chainring teeth/cog teeth * nominal wheel diameter).

Helps me better get my mind around comparability instead of comparing just the ratios, as is usual.

Best,

Dan.
