That's what I think. We've had 100 years of development time with chain drives so, whatever replaces chain drives, is going to have to be pretty well developed. It needs to be close to the mechanical efficiency of a chain drive system and it needs to be marketable at close to the price of a chain drive system. I don't think they're quite there yet.
