The Schlumpf Drive shows that a geared BB is possible, but it only has
two gears. As a resumee I would say that the "direct drive" is too
complicated to be of practical value!.
It would take a bit of work, but why couldn't a multi speed hub be driven by
a pair of cranks instead of a sprocket? I THINK that such an arrangement
has been done with a 3 speed and a kid's trike, but not totally sure! The
onlyother way is vary wheel size! My lean steer Trike which is similar to a
python in concept has a 7 speed cogset and a 3 speed hub. though I am going
back
to a straignt 7 speed t teh first opportunity. Not that the 3 x 7 doesn't
work mind, it is going on soemthing else, but I keep kicking the damned
actuator with my right heel and ankle! afraid that I will break the hub,
gouge my
ankle or mess up my tendons in my right leg from riding heel out all the time.

mounting spectacles for the first time, and in the same hour I renewed
my youth, to outward appearance, by mounting a bicycle for the first
time. The spectacles stayed on." -- Mark Twain
