    Welcome to the forum. Yeah, it seems a lot of people don't care for gear drives. Even my machinist says the same thing. I thought the principle was that they were supposed to maintain more accurate timing than a chain setup, but it seems this isn't what people are finding out in the real world.

    Very confusing.
