Title: Chain cinversion Post by JayR on 10/27/20 at 14:56:21 Hello, I’m sure there’s been lots of conversations about this, but I did a search and didn’t see any posts. I’m not sure that I want to tackle this project but I’m curious about how it’s done. Any links, info ? Thank you. Jay |

Title: Re: Chain cinversion Post by Gary_in_NJ on 10/27/20 at 15:11:28 It’s well documented in the technical section. Simply put, you remove the pulleys and replace them with sprockets. If you’re not looking to change the gearing, it’s not worth the effort. |

Title: Re: Chain cinversion Post by Hiko on 10/28/20 at 20:32:06 When I bought my bike at 2800kms the belt was one of the things I least liked. It chirped and squawked and let me down once on newly tarred gravel when chips of gravel got stuck to it and brought me to a grinding crashing halt' Fixed the horrible noises by fitting a double row bearing to the rear pulley to cure the wobble [ thanks to drag bike mike]and an occasional rub of beeswax to the edges It is silent now. The newly tarred roads? I have managed to avoid them so far |

I'm not sure the odds are less on a chain. probably never been studied. |

+1 on keeping the belt..No fuss, no muss. no heavy oil residue top clean up...No oil on rims from flinging off the chain... |

None of this information is true of modern o-ring and x-ring chains. I don’t oil any of my modern chains, I just keep them clean. |
