As I said, I'd literally just been talking about you and then there you were behind me like a genie! :)
I'm actually going belt drive alfine 8 again with this bike so hopefully it'll cope. I have only snapped one belt and it was in ridiculously thick, pebble filled mud.
So I was hoping I could save weight on the rest of the components like bars/stem/seatpost/cranks/etc

If you're not carrying lots no more wear, In fact the smaller wheel should be stronger if anything . Heavy loads can snap chains and need replacing more.
Any geared bike will need more regular replacements than your track bike :p
Good bumping in to you earlier
