It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I was looking at the 600X for a touring bike but I'm worried about if I snap a belt then the spare I won't be able to replace it anywhere near as easily as I could a chain. If I get a dedicated touring bike (right now I'm just using a modded Trek 820 lol) it'd probably be the Marin Four Corners or maybe a Fuji Touring Disc.

I don't know I'd trust an aluminum frame for touring, but for getting around the city so far the aluminum Folder has been great so far.

Well that's probably for the best then because I don't think they make the 600X anymore.
