A guy on another site is working on getting his rear wheel modified with a sprag clutch. Good for P&G but there would be no engine braking with a set up like that. Brakes on the bike would get a lot of use. OOPS! He's here too.. Sorry about that Cycle.

BTW. I've wondered about the drive pulley face (variator) of a CVT being moved in & out via a hydraulic armature that is controlled manually or optionally by electronic control.
And that makes me think why not do something similar for the clutch end of a CVT as well with electro-mechanical devices that could move the clutch shoes on or off?
