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

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.

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

You make a good point, but chains can also experience problems causing rear wheel lockups. I'm not sure the odds are less on a chain. probably never been studied.

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.
