KNow what you mean about the responsive feel though. I just wish the systems were'nt expensive to buy separately. I was thinking this morning about the viability of putting together the ultimate winter bike. The cost of the belt system would smart a bit though.
Titanium cycloX frame with EBB, disc brake tabs, and belt compatibility (XACD?)
Carbon disc brake compatible cycloX fork (wound up?).
Alfine 11 speed hub
mechanical disc brakes (Avid?)
Midge bars.
The bike would be pretty light with all the weight of the gearing system over the rear tyre contact point. Which would be ideal.
I prefer the SpotBrand solution to belt installation personaly (bias). Its barely visible and very strong.
