I searched dutifully, but couldn't find a thread on this. (I believe Andre might have a bike with Carbon Drive; not sure.) Has this been discussed here?
I would be very interested to hear how the Carbon Drive system's friction losses compare to those of a chain, and how it holds up in heavy use by a serious rider.
I can't answer your question directly but the largest
difference between a belt and a chain is noise. Assuming
noise is audible inefficiency may imply an answer.
That said, both systems work and although riders swear by
and at both, I don't find either compellingly 'best', just
different.
