Saw it is now available... and I think it would be awesome to have a belt drive with this hub.

Hipsters need not apply.

Anyone?

I bought one for use on a fixed Tikit but then realized I couldn't get the tall gear I wanted. So I never used it. Only real negative I've heard is that there is some lash in the rear hub, so trackstands are a bit tougher to finesse.

I'll make you a deal on a new one if you decide to give it a go.

the backlash really sucks, turned this hub from a must have to a must not have for me.

Man, that blows. I still may look to find one cheap to try... but not hopeful now.

ya, it does suck. I have ridden one of the originals and it had too much play for me too.

Did you try an ASC or a TF ?
The TF is much tighter.
