Yes, until you're looking at pulling your swingarm in the middle of no where, when a chain tool and masterlink will get you back in motion. The ratio choices are slim as well. Where I live, every where I go is up the hill/mountain or down, a 18-19/42 final drive ratio equivalent doesn't work for me at all. If I ever move back to Flatbush, I'll reconsider a belt.
