I live in an apartment, so cleaning a bike chain is a huge pain. Secondly I live in Florida where it rains daily all summer long. I’d like to bike to work, but the hassle of a dirty bike chain is somewhat daunting, so I have been looking at getting a Pioneer folding bike with a belt drive. They recently released this model for $800 with a shimano nexus 7 IGH. I have never owned IGHs - can they last 10,000 miles or so? Are they a huge pain to repair or replace?
I mainly want a belt drive so I don’t have to deal with a dirty chain. Does my circumstance sound ideal for this bike model? What are your thoughts?
