It will be incredibly easy to replace a chain although I doubt we will have to as I have never broken a chain. We will also be using 25 series chain. everything about this drivetrain is incredibly easy to work on. We can switch a wheel in a matter of seconds to keep the tread fresh. Also tensioning is super easy.

Why not direct drive a wheel?
Also, you should simplify the wheels to make them more efficient and easier to make.
It will be really cool if it works, sad if if doesn't. We got our fingers crossed! - falconmaster [more]
