Also the case that you can aovid a lot of ther mess and maintenance of a chain drive, at least with hub of single speed gears, by just enclosing it, which does add a little weight but doesn't compromise the efficiency (and by reducing the amount of chain wear from road clag may actually improve matters over the longer term). As an aside SWMBOS Nissan has chain drive camshafts, service instructions? As do certain Vauxhall Vectra deisels. ) None. No service required. Having suffered a cam belt failure that sounds good to me! (yes, I do appreciate chains *can* break). -- Pete |
