I’m probably buying a new bike in the next couple weeks or so, and am intrigued by belt drives, but I don’t know that much about them. Anyone got experience with them?

    What’s your setup and how does it compare to a chain drive as far as pedaling goes in your opinion?

      i got mine used a fair few years ago, but i think it’s this bike from Priority, except mine has a basket on front, and a rack with a file crate in the back. it has 3 gear hub, and honestly i think that makes a way bigger difference to pedalling than the belt, as it skips if i apply too much torque (idk if that’s normal for shimano hubs, or if mine is just janky though).
