I don't know about the rest of this group, but I am really interested in how this mechanism works. I've seen pictures before and realized it was something like your video, but never dreamed it would be so cool ... And I'd want one so bad! What keeps the wheel from slipping sideways and hitting the stays? Are there teeth in the axle to keep it all squared up? How many gears are on that freewheel? And best of all, how can I get a new version for my bike? It looks like I need another bike. Great work Aldo! Craig Ryan Noblesville, IN USA
