This is the best way to throw your beer at the guy behind you who won't shut up about not being able to see.

Ok, that makes more sense. weight at the wheel = rotational weight. Where as weight in the frame = static. Yeah I looked further into it apparently the Alfine hub isn't designed for "off road" riding. cool thanks for the info!

how similar is the pivot design to an FSR? (I noticed the rear pivot on the Zerode is situated behind and below the rear axle much like the Horst link.) Then what sort of leverage ratio does this fame achieve; progressive, digressive, or linear? I really like linkage design and its innovative incorporation of a internally geared hub as a gearbox. Though I'm having a hard time understanding why not just use the I.G. hub at the wheel, eliminating the need for the extra hub. (Is that a Shimano Alfine hub?) Any who props on using an American manufacturer! Can't wait to see one on the track!

No! I can't believe you even have to ask!!!!
