Am I imagining it, or are they replacing SA hubs with NuVinci hubs on the older V2 bikes? I see more NuVinci hubs than SA nowadays.
I think I got one of those NuVincis with the problem you describe. I was able to increase the ratio, but it seemed like I wasn't getting the maximum.
But I have not noticed that the SA equipped bikes seem faster. I now prefer NuVinci.
