Pic is from bikedaily, which i would check out on a daily basis.
The point? thats the first belt drive piece that has me actually seriously considering getting involved. I rode with a guy called Ollie in rotorua - a very strong rider, just back from the Annapurna trail. He has a lot of miles on one and has had zero slip or breakage issues. Is it better than a chain? i dont really think so....the weight lost by the belt is gained in the parts. Also the clearance is reduced by the necessity of the bigger ring AND you need a splittable frame. But this part is pretty sweet looking...

That's a common misconception.
The chainring, cogs, and chain I took off my SS were over 200gms heavier than the beltdrive bits that replaced them.
