Wow that is very cool, I’m slow on the uptake but I get it now, thanks! Looking at the Veer website, the split-belt concept looks like it is still in development, will be interesting to see how it goes.

I should try one, actually. I'm curious about them.

I want a belt for the front half of my tandem. It's a weird design though, with the rear triple being arm-less, and the front turning faster. So it'd be interesting to see what's available.
