The Gear Junkie Puts a Belt On
TheJudan is a 25-pound steel singlespeed mountain bike from Norco.It comes stock with a Gates Carbon Drive, making it a great low-maintenance singletrack ripper. The Gear Junkiehas been riding one this summer and he just posted a positive review.Stephen Regenold, aka the Gear Junkie, calls the Gates Carbon Drive “a game changer.The humble bike chain–greasy, gunk-prone, finicky if not lubed and maintained–has been standard equipment for decades,” he writes. “But belt drives, which employ a flexible loop of polyurethane embedded with carbon-fiber cords, give bikers a new option.” Read the review at Outside online here.Norco also makes two other bike models with the Carbon Drive System, the Cerescommuter and the Vesta urban singlespeed.
