Bike Rumor is one of our favorite sites for bike news and reviews, andeditor Tyler Benedict has just posted a story and lots of pictures (including a Kona full-suspension bike with belt drive!) aboutthe revolutionary new CenterTrack drive train from Gates. Writes Benedict: “Here’s why you’re gonna want it: the entire system weighs just 190g. That’s for the front and rear pulley and the belt, which is about 50g lighter than their prior top o’ the line system and getting within spittin’ distance of half of what chain weighs.” That’s nothing to sneeze, er, spit at. Check out the story and pictures here.
