    What

    I found this on Wikipedia. The weight is considerably more: The weight can be compared with a high quality derailleur system (Shimano XT): Speedhub 500/14 CC-OEMHigh quality derailleur system Gear hub: Twist shifter: Shifter cables attachment: Total weight: 1,715 g 118 g 14 g 1,847 g Rear derailleur: Front derailleur: Crank wheels: Cassette: Rear hub: Crank wheels: Additional chain weight: Additional spokes weight: Total weight: 230 g 130 g 250 g 260 g 370 g 62 g 30 g 25 g 1,357 g The Speedhub weighs about 0.5 kg more. A new version (currently in development, with testing due to begin in 2009) will weigh 1400g, be 20% smaller and have a larger overall ratio of 580%.
