was reading some nerdy cycle forum discussions and they seemed to say that they are not very durable and deffinately couldn't be applied to mountain biking. the nu vinci is in production. not widly available but you can buy bikes that have them.
derailers are great, especially since you don't have to be an expert to fix them when they go wrong - you can work it out by looking at it for the most part. still though, most people wouldn't try to fix them. considering they need a lot of attention in terms of cleaning and adjustment, they have some major flaws - at least in wet countries like ireland.
been looking at the rohloff speedhub a bit lately. i'm tempted!
