How well do those things work? Do you notice drag? Is there drivetrain slop? Is there more drag or less than with hub gears? I wonder if there is less, since -- this is a question -- wouldn't the upgeared character of a hub gear also "upgear" the drag?
I think such gear systems are very interesting -- I know about the German or Swiss one that has been on the market for years (forget name, though) and didn't know that there were others available. (Sorry, not interested for myself, but interested in learning more about it.)
