Belt drive SS cross bike.

Anyone gote one or is it not niche enough? 😉

Who actually makes one?

I have a belt drive on a Pompino – does that count?

How did you get the belt through the frame?

The only one I can see is Spot Brand and I can’t see an easy or affordable way to get my hands on one of those…

oddjob, that would only be niche if it was also bamboo… 😀

from the dirtrag twitter feed.

As soon as it has been mentioned on here, it ceases to be niche.

The frightening thing is that bamboo is just too mainstream these days 😉

Easy. Hacksaw 🙂

I think I have posted the details of the conversion on here somewhere.

that all looks very Heath Robinson, i love it!

*goes to find hacksaw*

Epicyclo, where did you get that ano cable end from?

such splendid work goes into his fancy pomp and you want to know about his cable end lol 😉

Yep! Although now you mention it, belt-drive hub-gear pompino, that’s a nice bike. But, it doesn’t solve my ordinary cable end woes.

No detail too small to be ignored 🙂

Your bike shop can get them for you. You get a bottle full of multicoloured cable ends.

I like to limit my projects to man in a shed type with hand tools stuff. It’s much more satisfying – and it’s boring when you take it to someone else to do.

You must have been sweating a bit as you were running out of the track end to get the belt tight !

A slightly larger rear cog fixed that 🙂

That setup never moved in use though – one advantage of Sturmey-Archer hubs is the extremely tough axles and nuts so I was able to clamp it down hard.
