MODERATORS
Use a belt drive instead. They are super strong and dont get elongated over time. ~~Otherwise use a shaft driven axle with oil submerged gears. That shit never breaks~~
Edit: i don't understand why people down vote? A well maintained bike chain can only run between 3000-8000 km at best and that's under good conditions. A belt drive can easily run 20.000 km and some stories of over 40.000 km and can run In mud and snow without trouble. It does not need any lubricant and only a little water to clean it now and then.
For shaft systems i see that they are less developed for bicykles. On motorbikes it's more common and it never breaks.

Never seen a shaft driven axle used in those conditions, I've only seen it in a city where the roads are smooth
Fair point
