Then we saw 2 disadvantages to DD and we decided to stick with chain:

1. Set gear ratio/speed from gearbox (with chain you can change sprockets)

2. If wheel is damaged, the shaft/gearbox will likely be damaged too (with chain, there will be no further damage than wheel)
I remember you guys having probs last year.
