Default Re: What??! A Belt drive??

Belt drives do not need to be as tight as a drum.

You have flanges on both pulleys so there will not be a problem with the belt tracking.

If you want to change the ratio and use a different pulley size then the belt size must also be changed.

I do like your set up.
