So… That breaker is too big for the #25… I had to rig it with a little Allen key…
I don’t think it had the press part for a rivet…

Ride 2 with the chain drive went well.
15 miles of no belt skipping joy.
And improved efficiency…
27wh/mile.

Pro tip… All chain-breakers sukk ass… We grind the rivets off one plate side… 10x faster

I’ve had a master link fly off once around s corner. Couldn’t find it after. Get spares I’d you want to keep using them. Has not happened again though. Keep the open end of the clip away from direction of travel.

imo split links are way better then riveted as being able to take the chain off with a set of pliers, either when out and about or on the bench, is way better. you might lose a few split links when going in reverse, but they only cost 45p a piece.

Exactly how I break a rivet master link too. Grind pins flat first.

Ok…
So going back to belts…
There were no actual issues with the chain set up.
Worked fine.
But for whatever reason the vibe of the chain did not seem right for this board so the noise and look started bugging me.
So again… No real issue I just wanted belts on this board.
The original issue was the belt skipping on the 12 tooth pulleys so to go back to belts I needed mounts with idlers.
So I went with the IdeaTB v7.8 with the fixed crossbars.
Again @IDEA gorgeous work.
Also using IdeaTB 72 tooth pulleys which is what was on here before the chain.
The IdeaTB mounts are a little bit longer than the EBS ones.
The EBS mounts performed really well and never budged. They have 4 set screws vs just 2 and a larger contact patch on the axle.
So they are really nice but no room for an idler.
The IdeaTB mounts assembled easily and I think they look pretty nice.
So I am happy with the look of the board.
But I still need to take it out to see how the belt and idlers will perform.
I am curious How efficiency will change if at all.
Chain was better for a few runs and then ended up at 30wh/mile like the belts were.

I appreciate it dude.
Really the thing is how great this board rides.
This deck and the matrix trucks is magical combo and I live it more every time I step on it.

So.
I have been wanting to try the 110s on the Haero since I first saw the skatekastle post on the Facebook.
But have been struggling to find an economical way to try.
But this seems decent.
You guys seen any one running thane on their carvers?
I’m going to try to tag the dude with the Flux build that he replaced the axles on the matrix trucks.

I wish I had much to say. But with wet weather and me moving I haven’t had time to ride it more than my first short test run.
And I don’t carve hard, I mostly just swerve lightly 
Board felt fantastic though. Heavy at 17kgs. Like a tank. Tracks nice and controllable.
Yellow bushings front and orange in the back with no preload was a little to soft for me. So I tightened those up a tad. I might need to try a different mix of harnesses. Well see where I end up.
Metr log if interested

So as per usual a couple hiccups.
Yet another board that is too low.
What would Jesus do?
Do I slap some giant risers on here?
Do I move the trucks to the inner holes?
Do I shit can the whole idea?
Do I do a whole different build around these bearings?
Fuck a duck.

Do you have any riser/rubber pad? That’s low, but that’s the Haero’s specialty. Inner holes should raise it up a bit, but I thinks you’ll need more. Would be nice if the enclosure was at the same height as the hanger…

Yeah.
I think what I will try next is both moving it in and adding another of the regular MBS riser. I have one riser now on the outer position.
I wonder if that will be enough…
