Yield9 – Well, you are partially correct. Centripetal is a real word. But it was misspelled by one letter.

As far as I am aware, "centripital" isn't an English word. Zach: Also, centrifugal force is the correct term for any acting force that moves away from the turning force along a radial axis.

As far as I am aware, “centripital” isn’t an English word.

Depending on what part of the world your in... YES there is. Metre, mile- their both valid words to define distance. Next time don't jump to conclusions, it makes you look silly and juvenile.

I would be interested in trying them out. Does anyone have any examples to give for bikes with a CVT setup, or any sites that showcase them? I would be interested in trying them out.

The information I have been searching for is how are the pulley's adjusted? I am assuming that they use a set of springs & weights so that as weights expand through centrifugal force they move a cam or something similar to expand or contract the pulley? Nice set of videos.

The question that begs to be answered is how well do they work in a high performance setup?
