Re: [St] Chain Links

[Matt Knowles <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No I was referring to the fact that you can't change the size of the  
belt by adding or taking away links, so it would make it harder to  
change the pulley sizes. If there was a tensioner (more weight and  
friction) you could go down in size, but it would rule out going  
larger. Of course if you were able to swap the belt to a new size it  
would be ok, but then you run into the problem that you mentioned.
