No, the Carbon Drive Gates belt system requires a bike frame that breaks (opens) to allow the insertion of the belt. There also must be a tensioning adjustment method, like a screw.

I just got one of these bikes yesterday and I can’t stay off of it. It’s great for city streets. It’s very lightweight but feels smooth and solid. The three speeds are distinct enough for hills and the straight away. Obviously, not very fast but if you want a good, lightweight ride around town and a bike that has nice response, I’d highly recommend this one. Seriously, I’m glad I got it and I’m coming off a Trek.

I need to ask why? Is a belt lighter? Can you shift it like a conventional chain? Is it cheaper? And what’s all this problem about maintenance; maintaining a chain is not hard. I personally like EXTERNAL gears, you have a bigger selection of them for any given terrain and you can obtain a wider ratio for variable terrain. When Astana outfits all its bikes with a belt I MIGHT think about converting. *L* until then it ranks up there with the elliptical chain ring!!!

Now if only more manufactures used the belt drive with an 8 speed hub. Perfect combination for winter commuting. Low maintenance in bad conditions.
