I like the IGH concept but would only buy a Rohloff/Pinion etc in combination with belt drive. Rohloff reduces some maintenance but belt drive reduces 4X more maintenance plus is much cleaner. For now IGH/belt bike availability is limited & expensive but it will be std in the future. Derailleur wheels can get sticky with grit etc but with those conditions chain needs cleaning/lube too.
