Look at the FAQ. 14T chain 22T belt....

I beleive that is the official spec.

However in our experience, If you want to replace the cog, its very very hard to get a grip using a chain whip for anything under 16T for the chain cog.

Thank you both, I must have missed it, I could not find it in their FAQ anymore
But worrisome they say 14T if 15T barely fits...

Its not that 14T / 15T dont fit. The issue is that if we want to swap the cogs (after they are worn down), it is tough to remove the lock ring because the chain-whip interferes with the lock ring socket. With 16T there is just enough clearance for the system to work with minimal issues.

OK, thanks for the clarification, tough but possible

@pushkar So what chain gear ships with Kindernay Hydra, etc.? And do I have the Kindernay 22T belt correct??

22T for the belt (if it becomes available) is correct. That is the minimum that can fit.
