belt drive hub
I am exploring building a belt drive single speed touring bike. Would like to set it up with a flip/flop hub and run two different cogged gears so as to be able to change gears when the need arises.
Does anyone make a hub that will accomodate this?
Thanks

Instead of having a custom frame built or having yours modified to facilitate belt installation and removal, why not just get a really nice IGH.

I'm inclined to think a belt drive flip-flop hub might not work so well. You're going to have some very awkward length adjustment to deal with
