[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1172375, member: 13739"] Nice. Belt drives have really appealed ever since I first saw one. They're probably the perfect commuter drivetrain, with quiet, mess, maintenance free operation. Only downside is that the belt doesn't split like a chain, so the frame has to do so instead. The big reasons that I've gone singlespeed on my commuter is for the low maintenance and quietness. There's compromises, like struggling up hills, and maxing out on flat; but I just love it. It's so efficient in transferring power as well. I'm cuttently running a 42-13 gear ratio which works quite well. Coudn't get the new spiderless chainring in a larger size than 36 tooth, so will be going 36-12 which is the smallest sprocket available I think on a standard Shimano freehub. You can get 11t, but I don't understand how the chain doesn't bind on the freehub either side... [/QUOTE]
