What's to gain?
No oil and 4 years between changes of belt vs 1 year per chain. Is that
really enough to justify the known and possible costs:
What's to lose?
Cash for conversion. Your Quickbeam. Or the feel of your Quickbeam.
"a carbon belt seems to make a lot of sense over a chain"
Then buy a bike specifically designed for a carbon belt. In my experience
things trying to be what they aren't rarely goes well. Let the QB be the
QB, and the belt bike be the belt bike.
In the two years I've owned my Quickbeam I've become a much stronger rider
because of the QB's "limits." Spring is long country road time for me
(single track is still melting till June), and my engine got a lot stronger
on the QB, doing rides of 90+ miles. I'm curious to see if my engine has
upgraded this year. Grin.
With abandon,
Patrick
