Love the idea of lube-free, maintenance-free but it's the frame-modding I don't like. I've got a few perfect candidates for belt drive here but to have frames modified? Not interested. The belt that can be joined he mentions towards the end was interesting. Wonder what real world usage is like.

I’d have thought adding a splitter on a suitable tube was a better idea than the splittable belt.

In what way? I mean, it might be functionally better, but cutting and welding a frame is not my idea of a simple drive chain (soz) change.

My point is, I will never retrofit a belt drive to any of my bikes, unless I don't have to cut the frame, ie. joinable belt might be an option.
