As a lot of things in the forum we all have our own preferences. One thing is for sure if you chose the derailleur set up you will quickly become a expert at adjusting it, and adjusting it, and adjusting it.
I have a friend whom I work closely with on motorized bikes, his puppy uses very very good shimano parts, and a chain for use on electric motorized bikes. It's meant to take the high torque and sideload expected from a powerful motor driving a bike with a derailleur. Kmc brand and well worth the 40 dollars.From my experience I haven't seen a j shaft derailleur MB that works well, or lasts very long. I picked up lacing on a you tube video super easy, but I am lazy so I take the wheel to a local bike shop for truing.
Don't know much about chains for cassettes. I like this for my 410 set ups. Gusset your j shaft tube well. They like to twist.thats why i had asked about the chain before if it would handle the load ok,I have a shimano sis type derailer and the shimano mega range 11-34 free wheel thats nickle plated both look strong and work smoothly they are already on the bike just currently being peddled, all i need now is a steel pipe or tube with 1 and 3/8 id to fit the bearings to make the shaft mount.
