Trek introducing chainless bikes

Have y'all seen this?

Interesting development, I thought.

Neat stuff!

I know when Harley switched from chain drive to belt drive you'd have thought the apocalypse was at hand the way people carried on. :rolleyes: Turns out the longevity and lack of required adjustments/lubing/changes made them a brilliant choice. Hope it works out the same way for Trek.

But wait, if this catches on will Chainlove have to become Beltlove? And is that kinda kinky?

It's about time, I'm all for it. I hate bike chains.

Oh my! :p

Ahem, um, uh, about the chainless bikes ... yeah, um neat idea. No more need to lubricate...er, I mean, grease the chain. And it's a lot less dirty. For your clothes, I mean. Sheesh. :o

Excuse me, there's a test document I need to write...

Speaking of chainless bikes...
What ever happened to Pooks?
