Eh, I disagree. Chains are definitely easier to change when you need to but a shaft drive should last for the life of the bike. Where I live right now I dont have a garage, it rains a lot, and we also get a lot of salt air from the ocean. As a result, my chain rusts pretty quickly and it also tends to get kinks in it if is isnt cleaned weekly. A shaft drive would be much less of a headache.
