Carbon Belt Drive

Pros:

• No Rust (no lubrication needed)
• Less slippage, fine-tuning throughout the season

Cons:

• More Expensive (Frame fitting, parts, labor, etc.)
• Internal Hub (requires Mechanic/Tools or replacement)

*The claim for less maintenance is only because you'll likely replace the hub (instead of performing repairs). Considering that, you're looking @ a a couple hundred in parts & labor each time.

This is also why I prefer single speed/fixed gear cycling. I was born with all the gears I need for cycling without an additional motor (lol).
