Wow, loads of interest. I'd never have expected that 😉
First ride report: Erm, bit of a failure. Belt Alignment is REALLY important. And mine isn't quite right.
Ah well, back to the workshop for some fettling…. Watch this space.
And yes, Kona make the Bass (and Cowan DS) which are ripe for belt conversion.
I was going to put my Rohloff on this one, but it needs a bit more attention than a standard cassette hub.
Epicyclo – curios about what you mean about the flex. Email in my profile if you fancy getting touch.
Giantjason – you need a frame that splits (the belt doesn't). Thats the advantage of the Kona full-sus frames, simply split the sus linkage.
Oh, and you can't use a standard spring-tensioner, not becasue of the tension required, but because the belts aren't designed to be folded back on themselves. Maybe the new Schlumpf 14mm belts will get around that issue..
