The chain wear surprised me! Our Rohloff tandem came with Gates belts, and we have over 28,000 miles on the original set. They’ve been no problem, and have required no maintenance. It just never occurred to me that chains would wear so quickly. We travel with a backup set just in case.

Alee is a real inspiration! As you say, he rides in extreme conditions compared to our rides. Living on the Colorado front range, we ride mostly in dry, sunny conditions, although we had rain *every*single*day* on a ride from Frankfurt, Germany to Prague, Czechia.
