What I hate about shaft drive is you can feel that quick slip, grab, free play in the shaft when you pull out and to me it feels cheap, like the back tire is falling off, its in the rubber coupler thats in the hub, if you ever took ur back wheel off ur bike and see the thin pieces of rubber thats connected to the hub you would not feel secure. My next bike will be either chain or belt drive!

Similar to the cush drive used on bikes with chains?

yea its a cheap piece of hollowed out rubber that connects the gear drive to the wheel hub, looks like something in a kids toy
