Congratulations. You actually managed to properly quote the previous
post. I knew you could do it if you put your mind to it.

The chains are in tubes but the crank isn't enclosed... /but/ (and IME
of 'bents it's a big "but") without the crank placed low and behind the
front wheel the amount of crud it catches is minimal, far, far less than
is the case on a "normal" bike, so there's not much chain cleaning needed.
The Spirit can also be specified with a SRAM 8 speed hub gear (in fact
that's the default option), so you don't need to worry much about
cleaning the gears.
