The dropout looks complicated, I'd like to know why they did not stick with a horizontal dropout found on single speeds. Anyone?

A spare belt will weigh next to nothing compared to a chain. Plus it can be folded into a tiny package you can stuff in your saddle bag minus the grease and chain link tool!

Overall it's a nice package. Wish I had room for one...lol.
