They need constant maintenance, don't last closely as long, if I want to run on a higher ratio (like 42/16) it's really a hassle to get the 16T sprocket in my country.What is the problem with chain and sprockets?
RSTech has a belt drive that matches a '16T mod' (2.6 ratio)It seems like a hassle to change the final drive then, perhaps a bigger back Tyre?
My new Bullet runs 16 and 40, I too would like to go a bit higher but have yet to find it.
Stock rear sprocket is 42 on all the J range it seems.
