Wyatt Earp Posted August 7, 2013 Share So I have been riding a belt drive for a while now. Another hubber, make that great hubber approached me wanting a SS belt rive.It's a challenge, you need a split rear triangle and then an eccentric BB or sliding dropouts.Match this with a good geometry, brand reputation and Reynolds 853 tubing and the options are very limited. In steps the S.I.R. 9.Dips got a good friend of his to engineer the split for us .The belt rive goodies took a while. No expenses were spared. Only the best components will do. Chris King headset.Chris King hubs laced on to Sun Ringle Inferno rims.Bio eccentric V2.XT cranks with XTR BB.Seatpost is the Ritchey Trail WCS carbon post.Ritchey C 260 stem.Ritchey trail bar.Yawyd Cap.Niner carbon fork.Specialized BG grips.Shimano XTR brakes. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3729/9455131263_7cb1a529e1_b.jpgIMG_3443 by OddPix1, on Flickr fabes, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, jcza and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 7, 2013 Share Those Infernos are DAMN nice. Epic Bike Shop built up a set on some CK's as well, for one of their clients. Damn. They had to clean their bench after I left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted August 7, 2013 Share This is something I keep my eye on. SRAM might want XX1, shimano should get their alfine hubs into proper R&D. i'm guessing the frame warranty is voided? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, no mr distributor. Your bike broke but we sliced through the seatstay to install a belt drive. So you're still liable... No chance of a warranty claim on that one.
