Nanodrive: The First 21st Century Drive Train System
Are you still riding on old-fashioned half-inch-pitch chain and
sprocket, like they used to use in the last century? No wonder you're slow! Time to get with it! Unless you're a reactionary troglodyte retrogrouch, you NEED Nanodrive, the first 21st century drive train system! Get rid of that obsolete junk!

Nanodrive: The First 21st Century Drive Train System
I'm interested in this but concerned about backward compatability. I'm
currently using a 7 speed Shimano Hyperdrive system with 7 speed hubs, cassette and chain. These parts are getting increasingly harder to source. I was reluctate to upgrade to 8 speed because 9 was around to corner. Then it was 10speed cassestte. Now it's 20 and that seems like enough. Will there be any adapters to fit the new "20" onto my 7speed rear hub or must I replace it along with everything else. "Sheldon Brown" wrote in message ...

See: http://sheldonbrown.com/nanodrive Sheldon, brilliant idea! We are all growing old waiting for CVT (continuously variable transmission), and this is almost as good but built on proven technology. My question is, I have an old non-indexed 3x7 speed bike. Will I be able to use my existing shifters and derailers, and just buy your new chainrings, cassette and chain? Will there be a cassette to fit narrow dropouts of 6/7 speed frames? |

I thought when you called it 'Nano' drive you meant something _really_ small, like tiny electric motors that could be hidden inside hubs and bottom brackets, fueled by tiny fuel cells secreted inside the seat tube, to give us mere mortals super-athelete type speed. This is no more than mere evolution of existing technology, hardly a revolution.. well, I suppose it is meant for revolution but you know what I mean ;). Call it 'Microdrive' if you will, but it's hardly 'nano'drive, don't exagerate ! ;). Rich |

You can just use the old "16 of 20 on 7" setup. Get the standard drive system, but install only 16 sprockets. It ought to work fine, but you'll lose some of the close-ratio-ality of the nanodrive system, or some of the range (depending on sprocket choice). -- Rick Onanian |
