Hi, my name is Rob and this is my first post. I have been planning an e-bike build for several weeks now and have found this forum an excellent resource for information and ideas. My bike will be a lipo mid drive hubmotor full suspension. On to my question. After reading through one of AmberWolf's build threads he mentioned using a Landrider automatic shifting derailleur, and the concept of this piqued me as I had been previously unaware of such a device. I am not opposed to conventional shifting, I am however intrigued by what could be considered a lightweight incremental cvt. Upon googling Landrider it would seem the bike itself is a home shopping special of high price incommensurate to the parts and qualityof build. As i understand it from the information i have found is that the derailleur moves as speed increases when the flyweights move apart and that the problem for more serious riders is that gearshifts happen at around a cadence of 45. For my build and gearing the ideal motor driven cadence would be 105. Does anyone who has more experience with this system believe this shifting cadence could be adjusted with heavier flyweights or an increase in flyweight arc. Apologies if this is in the wrong section or doesnt make sense, it's more than half my life away since I studied physics.
