    The Universal Gates Belt MTB conversion Kit thread (By Sidepod)

    I can’t, not on my current motor/chainring. It will need a new centre section machining to accept the motor output shaft. Also there is not enough offset of the chainweel from the frame surrounding the motor housing to allow for the belt width. This is why it’s much east with a Bosch motor...

    “As long as you can have a tensioner designed and manufactured to do the same, yes you can fit it to a full suspension bike” Exactly.

    You have £6k for a new bike which do you buy ?…..

    Anything half decent on eBay with a Bosch 4/625 for £3k then add all the trick bits I like and bank £1500.

    The Universal Gates Belt MTB conversion Kit thread (By Sidepod)

    I fully understand suspension kinematics. Correct/sufficient tension is simply a function of tensioner design. We’re not splitting the atom here.

    Why can’t I fit a belt to a full suspension bike? Obviously a tensioner is required just as you say, like the Nicolai.

    eMountain Biking with an Internal Geared Hub (the Rohloff)

    Good luck with that. I’ve tried. They won’t sell you one unless it’s through a bike shop who will assess your bike, carry out various measurements with their test kit and then take responsibility for it. In addition it’s tricky to find a chainring for the belt drive unless you have Bosch. (I...

    Can’t get my head around berms!

    For whatever reason I just can’t get that nice warm feeling whilst railing a berm. I get all of the physics and technique etc but it just doesn’t feel right. I’ve always had some sort of moto/crosser/enduro and berms have never been an issue. Chuck it in, sit forward, foot out, look where you...

    What makes a tyre Tubeless Ready?

    It’s almost as if we could do with some sort of flexible tube that sits inside the tyre :ROFLMAO:

    What makes a tyre Tubeless Ready?

    Ah ok so this was part of my question. Is there anything suitable to paint on the inside of the tyre to seal it?

    What makes a tyre Tubeless Ready?

    Is there an extra layer/coating applied to the inner surface of a tyre to make it airtight? Is it something that can be added retrospectively? I have a pair of tyres on my hard tail that aren’t marked as tubeless ready but the rims are. It would be a shame to discard them.
