Has anyone else found the nonagon shaped holes on the "hip joint" linkage? I'm thinking John was having a little fun with this. After all, it is a championship winning shape.

Also, those 11 tooth CIM pinions have got to be really nice, expanding your range of possible reductions by nearly 10% !!! over the commonly available 12 tooth pinions. Since most teams have access to an arbor press or something functionally equivalent (they're not too terribly expensive anyway), I've been thinking this would be really nice to have commercially available. Maybe something for AndyMark to jump on? They are particularly useful in drivetrains with CIM motors, because they allow you to get a reasonable reduction with just a single stage.
