Does anyone know how the gates carbon belt drive equates to standard single speed gearing? For example - what does a 50x24 equate to in normal gearing?
I've become enamored with the idea of building a Belt driven Ti Cyclocross bike.
Appreciate any advice.

Go to their website on this page:
http://www.carbondrivesystems.com/forbi ... hp?lang=us
Then use the resources section and follow a link for belt and sprocket size calculators. You should be able to easily determine what you want by entering a standard combination. It will also include belt size.

I buy everything that JMT lists on this site.

I have a belt drive (love it) and find out my gear ratios the same as with a chain drive, they are just larger numbers, with my 26" wheel 50x25 is 2:1
