Just been looking at the new Spot brand website and their new dropout solution seems like a really good idea, coupled with sorted geometry (but no 26" other than custom?????)

So, anyone using belt drive (on a hardtail) - what's your experience? Any photos?

Thanks

I'd like a look at these too, I like the idea of a belt drive and hub geared bike

Not trolling, but what are the advantages over chains?

not sure if they're ready yet, (belts)
