I have a spare, new, 28h Alex 390 rim here if you find you need one and can't get one on your side of the world.. Velocity also has a nice selection of 451 rims... I used Velocity rims for my Duomatic 700 bike...

The new TSR2 uses Delta C-Drive components, not Gates Carbon Drive .. before you start buying expensive belts and cogs, make sure and take measurements of your bike and input ratios in a gear inch calculator .. there are very few selections in acceptable belt lengths and cog sizes.

I toyed with belt drive for mine, but never pulled the trigger.. there are new products (like the Schlumpf belt drive system), and Gates with their newest iteration .. for now, I run with what works and just keep my chain really clean (easy to do with only two sprockets)..
