[TR] tr3a belt

[Geo Hahn]

Ah - if your question is about using a cogged belt - I actually prefer
them.  For one thing I find it much easier to work a cogged belt thru the
tight gaps in front of the crank pulley.  Also easier to catch an edge and
bump the belt on if the installation is a bit tight.
