did you know your run of the mill internal gear hub is only spec’d to 50nm? Gotta buy like a fucking Rohloff to get that up to 130nm. ride derailleurs if you want that fat ass

A cyclist friend of mine has started using cargo-spec chains because they mash the pedals really hard most of the time. A bit of extra weight but longer lasting chains is an acceptable trade-off for them.
There are certainly very few options for high torque with internal gear hubs.
keeps me curious to watch for a belt-driven commuter someday
I picked up a gates belt drive ebike (my first belt drive and first ebike) cheap recently and it’s been a nice change. The rear triangle has a weird removable part since the belt must be installed intact, unlike a chain
50 nanometers for a bike sure is small 🤔
Unregulated emotos are cool actually
