You have many strong preconceptions so there is no point in me discussing this with you any further. Good luck getting a chain and sprockets to last more than 5,000 if you never lube it.

Again you have apparently never really read up on how the DrPulley sliders work to increase gear ratio on both ends. Engineering genius, where each surface dimension is optimized to do it's specific job. Unlike a round roller. Very cool design. I wish i had thought of it. And they last forever.

Air cooled is usually better on fuel economy due to the much higher cylinder head temps and no parasitic drag of a coolant pump but they make less power and are less reliable.
