How does a strap feel vs a chain on a pedal?
Can you get the same amount of power using a strap as you can using a chain?
This is a little off topic but I've noticed the strap on the pearl eliminators is made out of a material that makes it more like a direct drive assembly. It seems to be less "elastic" haha.
I have one pedal made by Yamaha that's a belt drive, actually it's convertible to both. In my opinion the strap drive has a more fluid feeling to that of the chain drive. For response I would rate it between a chain and a direct drive pedal, I like them a lot. I'm going to be getting the Tama Iron Cobra "Flexi Glide" pedal in the near future.

So, if you wanted to convert a chain pedal to a strap, what kind of material would you use?
OK - but I was asking what kind of material would be used. I think maybe traditionally, it would be some kind of tough but thin leather. But there's probably some type of synthetic materials being used now - I don't know.
