Ines All your questions are very good, but please use appropiate threads.
Would you say it's already so large that splitting messages to own thread made sense?
@BD1791 Admins/Mods can do that for us, but we can save them some effort by own "thread discipline". :-)
Note that the wording in reports about belt rear configurations, particularly outside UWC, is sometimes ambiguous. For instance: I've read terms like "stripe", "band", "thong" and in some cases users actually meant the solid rear with anus hole and in other cases they meant single cable rear …
Maybe it's also worth noting that newer, hybrid designs emerged as well. Examples: "two-cables" or semi-rigid rear with a sort of anus hole but then continued via two separate metal stripes. The latter should intentionally deform on pressure (hopefully giving more comfort / debatable).
Yet AFAIK the "classical" options
- Solid w/ Anus Hole
- Single Cable
- 2 Chains
are still the most popular options. Whatever popularity means in this case. :-)
