When I see this ICS, I see
- Weight
- Complexity
- Cost
- No belt option
- Drivetrain friction
- More to go wrong.
- Captain-Stoker communication (through the sync chain) disconnected.
- Proprietary parts, not universally available
- More stoker leg chain oil tattoo's (more chain exposure in front of crank).
The benefit is that the stoker and captain can have different cadence. Yay! However, with training together the stoker and captain could probably come to a mutually beneficial cadence.
I guess I
just don't get it, and like jazz, if you have to explain you'll never know.
