Maybe this would be a good time for me to ask a question I've been contemplating for a while. Did Spence ever move the top pulley in relation the the cage pivot to allow for a wider range FW to be used? I've been working on some sketches on the cage movement and find no reason you couldn't do this and still get good chain wrap on both the small and large cogs. thanks, Brandon"monkeywrench"Ives SB, CA
