Frosty Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 If the belt was going to fall off, the chain stay won’t make a difference - with the right tension, it should remain in place.This design allows the removal/installation of the belt without the problems of a fixed chain stay. edit: some info on the belt drive system WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO THE CARBON DRIVE SYSTEM?Clean - No Lubrication means no greasy build up of dirt, keeping your hands, clothes, and children clean. Smooth – The Carbon Drive system eliminates the metal-to-metal contact of chains, delivering an unparalleled smoothness that you need to feel to believe.No Noise – The Carbon Drive belt is virtually silent in most riding conditions.Light Weight – the entire system, 2 sprockets and a belt, weighs less than just a typical chain.No Stretch – The Carbon Drive belt does not stretch over time like a chain. This means you don’t have to re-tension the belt, or replace the belt due to stretch. Self-Cleaning – The patented CenterTrack and MudPort profiles were designed specifically to shed mud, dirt, snow and other debris to meet the needs and environmental challenges of a bicycle.Life – Testing has shown the Carbon Drive belt to last more than twice the life of chains.Consistent Efficiency - the Carbon Drive belt provides consistent efficiency over the lifetime of the drive. In contrast, chain efficiency decreases with wear and dirt.WHAT ARE THE DRAWBACKS OF USING A CARBON DRIVE SYSTEM?Because a belt cannot be broken and then reattached, the Carbon Drive System requires a belt-compatible frame. A belt also needs center distance adjustment for installation and proper tensioning. Methods include horizontally adjustable dropouts, eccentric bottom brackets, or eccentric hubs.

I know it wouldn't make a difference. It just looks like that. so used to seeing the frame on the outside, the other way round just makes it look strange (different).
Frosty Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 That’s one reason why I like that frame... it’s not like an ordinary build.
madbradd Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 That’s one reason why I like that frame... it’s not like an ordinary build. Yeah. I get that completely. It's like the "righty" fork, the brake rotors on the right, the front brake mount, the front brake cable routing etc.
