Medium gear

High gear

The gear ring can be locked at 24 positions per revolution. At the 178 mm Snek it needs almost 4.5 revolutions to go from the lowest to the highest gear. Therefore you have more than one hundred gears. Strickly spoken it's no longer a CVT (continuous Variable Transmission), but this can't be noticed in everyday experience. Each step is so small that the familiair smooth feeling lasts!

• The 222 Revolver with dyneema propulsion cable economizes on cables, Snek and gear system almost 700 grammes on forward and back moving parts, compared with the CVT.
  
• With a steel CVT propulsion cable the weight reduction is still more than 500 grammes.

After assembling the system needs to be tightened one or more times. In the beginning the twined dyneema and the knots in it need to set, resulting in a somewhat greater length. The return elastic can compensate quite a lot of difference in length, but there is an end to this. In this case simply shorten the cord slightly. Dyneema tends to "crawl". After a longer time (approximately six months) you might need to shorten the system again. You can shorten it simply by hooking the shock cord into another hole of the Snek. For larger adjustments you can shorten it at the ring or choose another hole for the shock cord.
In the gear ring are, at equal intervals, six mounting points for the return shockcord. They enable the rider to make personal adjustments for gear range.
