just came across this in one of last months tech mags. Pretty neat new twist on the CVT idea, and not a bad hub design either. I'd like to see some evolution of this line of thinking.

rear CVT hub

Yeah, but can it take abuse? Remember, Ellsworth is licensing it.

They've got my attention.

 

[binary visions]

Interesting, but I still think the rear hub is a lousy place to put a drivetrain.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Transmissions don't belong in hubs, they belong in frames. Unsprung weight and all that.

if that is the case this developement is over before it started...

You're not one of those people who disapproves of gear changes in mid-are are you?

I think he just disapproves of gear changes while STANDING STILL in mid-air...:hot:

My grandma used to say that when she was excited. She was cool.....

I believe a Rohloff can do the same, sans the mid-air standstill part.

actually Rohloff can do the same, if you can pull of the mid-air standstill

one more thing that i'd have to replace and fix in time

 

[OGRipper]

I have nothing against shifting mid-air, I just thought it was funny and stupid that they would tout it as one of the advantages.

I wasn't being a grammer nazi, just a bad marketing nazi.
