Chain stay break for belt drive.

I like this one I'd seen a while back. Although I have looked at the one shown above is it used for the same purpose? I really never actually bent the stays on my bike enough, there is some tension that spacers on the axle make clearance for the sheave.

I've been careful, I use a couple foot long screw driver and am careful to not wedge it where it will do harm. I've got a nack for it now that it is fairly simple. Still turn buckles I use that I have modified to help tension the belt in the drop outs and can carry it while I ride so if things happen. I never have done this extra part where I would not have to remove a jack shaft to complete putting on a belt should one snap. The idea to have a second belt tied in place and not touching the rotating jack shaft. Just un-ravel when needed and much less work to change belt. Link belt I have, but they just don't have the grab for the torque needed in the off road riding I do.
