Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Shhhhh...it was a secret. You weren't supposed to know. It is actually a 3D printed carbon chain.

I think you're missing the point a few people have made - [I]any[I] flex in the rear of the bike will greatly increase the chances of throwing the belt off. Belting yourself in the crotch with the handlebars at every set of lights because your belt has come off isn't a low maintenance alternative to a chain.

I think you mistook my sarcasm for sincerity
