I intend to buy one of those, and I have a sand trail nearby. Are
those gears sealed? How about the maintenance they take.

maintenance? Adjust cable if shifting is sloppy. Other than that, drip
some bacon fat or suitable equivalent on the chain when it makes
noise. Replacement rear cogs and SS chains are cheap enough to not
worry, just ride.

How 'bout the sand?

Don't ingest it and don't use a wet chain lube and you'll be fine.

Regular gears are more complicated, right? I apply the lube
(motorcycle lube) with a brush to use it sparingly.

Whatever you use, wipe chain outside dry with rag or paper towel. Lube
is on the inside where it belongs, not on the outside where it acts
like sand lure.- Hide quoted text -
