Re: CVT, which teams are planning on using them for next year?
Wouldn't that aluminum wheel + rubber wheel have a fairly large amount of friction losses? I mean, unless the rubber wheel has a very small contact point, then it's going to slip along pretty much all of its surface cause the aluminum disk will be travelling faster at the outer edge vs the inner edge. As I understand it, that's why other roller designs use hard rubber designed to contact at a point.
And in answer to the thread, 57 doesn't look to be using a CVT in the foreseeable future.
