It is nothing to worry about. Ill make a vid going to mount it up and test ride in the next week or 2
I also have considered a Flexco 375 hinge joint and just carry an extra pin for it, should work fine I have put plenty of them on elevator belting. this is just so easy and is more than strong enough.
One thing funny is when you use spliced tracks you can keep a couple different ones around and unbolt/swap them out in like 10-15 minutes depending on how you ride. Just roll it right out of the kit and roll the other in.
I am probably going to do a 1.25" one with a ton of studs for riding ice, trail and low snow.
