I doubt these will take off. They do look cool Af while shifting imo

    To my knowledge they only require an oil change every year or so and the belt doesn’t require any maintenance. Chain and a derailleur need that constantly.

      I meant that these internal hubs or pinion gearboxes are often so complex that you’d have no chance of servicing it yourself.

      But yes, in the context of regular maintenance, there’s very little to worry about.
