Yes, very helpful, thanks.

None of the half dozen or so pictures are detailed enough to be sure, one is assembled with the spring and cap if you follow the thread he's realised that it shouldn't be like that.

None of the sprockets look exactly like the one I have and most seem to show a bush of some sort below the bolt. Which is the bits I think I'm missing.

The Spanish site one, with the box also seems to have some sort of bolts in the mix.

I've messaged that user on the LCGB site, but he's not got back to me yet.

I'm not selling them but I bought it a while back so decided to fit it and see. I've got no instructions with it but can't see why the gear oil would be different.

Is supposed to be quieter and less power loss, presumably because it's lighter / less inertia, than a chain and doesn't need the cush drive probably because there's enough flex in the belt?

Anyone know better?

If this is the Tino one that was in scootering some years back, wasn't the issue a lack of a cush drive that made gear changing harsh. Other than that I think it's a great idea so let us know how it rides/gear changes.
