It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I'm probably buying a new bike in the next couple weeks or so, and am intrigued by belt drives, but I don't know that much about them. Anyone got experience with them?

i got mine used a fair few years ago, but i think it's this bike from Priority, except mine has a basket on front, and a rack with a file crate in the back. it has 3 gear hub, and honestly i think that makes a way bigger difference to pedalling than the belt, as it skips if i apply too much torque (idk if that's normal for shimano hubs, or if mine is just janky though).
