New bike chain claims to be faster, more durable

I have to be honest, when IKEA launched the Sladda, I had high hope that they'd sell a zillion of them so I could pick one up barely used for a pittance in a couple years. Sadly, that seems to have not happened, and we'll have to wait a bit longer for the belt drive to become commonplace :-(

Wasn't that the one subject of a recall because the belt could break? Recall for refund, not for repair. So a complete failure.

Ugh. I missed that. Bummer!

I wonder if the frame wasn't built to allow belt replacement?
