I do wonder how durable it would be, especially under load on steep hills. It would be nice to not have to worry about chain maintenance...

After my chain episode on yesterday's ride it's looks inviting, however, I can't imagine that they would be durable - I picture them stretching out and or breaking.

Too many parts. I have, however, wondered why we have chains, instead of belts. Harley-Davidson does. One less part to oil.
