Want to stealth around without \u003cstrong\u003eKarens bitching at you\u003c\/strong\u003e because of that noisy chain? Me too. That's why I started using belts on all of my bikes back in 2021. I immediately fell in love with using belts instead of chains. I had to share this discovery with others. So, I quit my job and racked up a bunch of debt. I have no regrets, and I am truly proud of what I was able to create. I am sure you'll love using a belt instead of a chain as much as I do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTough as Shit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe belt kit has been designed from the ground up to be tough as shit.  The front pulley is made from 304 stainless steel.  The rear pulley has been CNCed out of a huge ass block of aluminum. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuieter than chains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth power delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRust-free stainless steel, aluminum or plastic pulleys with stainless hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy install using basic tools and an angle grinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintenance free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlits for debris to pass through, including mud and small rocks (aluminum rear pulley)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasily removable front pulley using a \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=r52UviS6kpk\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ecrank arm puller\u003c\/a\u003e or by hand with the spline shaft pulley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"plastic-vs-aluminum-pulley\"\u003ePlastic vs. Aluminum: Which Pulley Is Right for You?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the straight talk: the \u003cb\u003eplastic rear pulley\u003c\/b\u003e is surprisingly tough.
