I’m glad this topic has come up. I’ve fitted an Alton on a new engine/bike restoration with a bob newby 40mm belt drive.
When I started the bike it was very noisy in the alternator area . I was thinking it had something to do with the teeth on the belt. I’ve removed the Alton drive cog but I haven’t started the bike since.
If I was asked to describe it, I’d have said it sounded like a dry gear reduction.
When my leg gets better I’ll start it again and see how noisy the belt drive is with the Alton disconnected.
Cheers
Brian
