I was just viewing Newspeedmaster.com, checking out the belt drive. Brent's site states the new ratio is 2.45:1 compared to 2.625:1 for the stock speedmaster. Does this mean the front "sprocket" turns 2.45 times for every revolution of the rear? If so, is not the belt drive geared slightly higher? How does this compare to the BA?

Any landing you can walk away from is a good one.

Final drive on the America is 2.47:1, so the belt drive is really close to what you would get with a 17 tooth America sprocket.
