hmmmm... call me a bikesnob, but TopGun suspension doesnt shriek "quality" to me... other than the Shimano Nexus they appear mostly low spec. and i find their claims of 98-99% efficiency quite difficult to believe, and the claimed 'inefficiencies' of derailleur systems are a bit much arent they? sure, when derailleur's are dry and crusty, they're pretty bad, but when they're clean and lubed well, they're always gonna be better than shaft and internal gears, arent they? I was under the impression that Rohloffs only get between 93 and 96% efficiency, and thats with a chain. and arent chains one of the most efficient power transfer systems possible...?
BUT, i've never laid eyes on this product til you drew my attention to the link, and so have NO experience with this machine.
a shaft drive would be pretty cool tho, just from a not-clipping-your-pant-leg perspective.

Hi--
I've recently come across Dynamic Bicycles --
http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/-- which have a drive shaft
and internal
gearing. Has anyone had any experience with this product? Thanks!
