For me this was something of the distant past linked to a specific two gear fold bike that my family owned back in the 70s. That one actually used backpedalling to switch between the two available gears. Spooky to even think about it nowadays.</p> <p>Especially interesting is the CVP (continuously variable planetary) gear hub by Fallbrook Technologies Inc.</p> <img alt="Nuvinci360" class="align-center" src="https://blog.lazy-evaluation.net/images/Nuvinci-N360-Nabe.jpg" style="width: 200px;"> <p><a href="https://blog.lazy-evaluation.net/posts/cycling/cycling-gear-hubs.html?pk_campaign=feed">Read more…</a> (2 min remaining to read)</p></div>cyclingnuvincispeedhubhttps://blog.lazy-evaluation.net/posts/cycling/cycling-gear-hubs.htmlSat, 13 May 2017 10:19:12 GMT
