    I'd go for a timing belt drive for three reasons:
    • It's not unlikely that we might find the ratio needs changing and to change the ratio you only need to change one pulley compared to two gears.
    • The torque ripple will also be less with a belt, unless maybe someone wants to have a go at making helical gears!
    • Noise.
