MT,
My recent builds have gone away from v-belt drivetrains in favor of chain drive w/freewheel (see avatar pic).
I like the chain drive more & feel it is more efficient especially when teamed up w/a freewheel.
I use a cheap rear derailleur to tension the non-drive side of the chain which also allows precise chain alignment (adjustment screws).
My next project will use a trials type threaded crank & rear gear changes (DIY shift kit).
Cheers,
