I’ve heard about the NuVinci CVT, supposedly based on diagrams drawn by Leonardo daVinci. But I heard that their not particularly efficient in the transfer of power. I didn’t know they had made it through to production.
Lot of money for an untested IHG.
hubs have been available for a while ATMO.
fucktacularly heavy

Best thing to come of the nuvinci hub:
From memory, the second generation one is considerably lighter. Not a totally stupid idea ATMO.
$1200 for a chappeli is insane, it could have a bloody perpetual motion power assist hub in it and it still it wouldn’t be worth $11.35
