    So I’ve never really understood the appeal of belt bikes. I hey that they’re lower maintenance but the steep efficiency loss is a deal breaker for me

      With modern gear drives the efficiency losses are minimal and yea they are insanely long lasting and debris resistant.

      I’ve never tried one. I have chains on my hybrid MTB and my eFatbike, they’ve been pretty reliable for me though.
