gates drive

[PH]

only the owner can judge wether its money well spent or not

Which is what I said

I can't put a value on how interesting someone would find the experience

[pinkbunnyok96]

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.
