Looks like I should thank you all who replied.
I know I am a new member but have been a biker for many a year, so not new to biking?
A extra thanks to Zmilin for the link to the blog. It was really useful and see it's not at all good sense to change it to belt. Not because in this case he had not fitted it right or there was a fault in it but the facts stated.
The facts against making it belt drive were:- 1/ the difficulty in changing it. 2/ if it breaks, you can't mend it temporarily like a chain, so you have to carry a spare and a full tool kit. 3/ it's expensive to change each time.
Therefore I am steering clear...
This was the sort of feedback I needed, to decide one way or another... 😌
