Less maintainance, no oiling etc, seems good for town riders where getting A to B is the issue.
Presume you can just hose it down if its manky and you wouldnt have to concern yourself with lubing it nicely for the next trip, just tip a bucket of water over it and scrub the grime off.
Can't understand why it would break under cycling pressure, if they are used in some motorcycles etc... surely the belt can handle the torque and stress of pedalling, even fixed! Its not an elastic band after all.
What about tamper proof though? How easy are these belts to cut with tools?
..and... Why the eccentric hub? Can anyone explain why thats important?
I like it.
