Also for the different gears to fit correctly in the tranny a different size idler will have to be used. The input and output shafts are a set distance away from each other and the 18 / 21 setup will have to have a larger than 20t idler to fit and mesh correctly. Wonder how they will do this?

Both the 21/18 and the 26/13 would fit in the tranny as 1st and 2nd gear respectively and could use the same size idler for both, as the radius of both sets of gears added together is the same.

EG. 21t=23mm/2=11.5
18t=20mm/2=10
___________+___
21.5mm

26t=28mm/2=14
13t=15mm/2=7.5
___________+___
21.5mm

So I guess that when installing the 2 speed the original single speed gears will be discarded. Sounds cool, can't wait.
