5 -1:1

3 -0.748:1

Sram S7 is direct in 4th, not first.
7 -1:1.74
6 -1:1.48
5 -1:1.24
4 -1:1.000
3 -1:0.81
2 -1:0.68
1 -1:0.57
You are correct with regard to the Nexus 7, however, no direct. The only gearhub I am aware of with direct in 1st is the SA 8speed.
EDIT: Numbers for Nexus are output -input, Sram list is input to output. That's what can happen when you cut and paste.
You are correct with the gear ratios - my mistake was to copy the GAIN ratios column. (Are you sure the 1:1 gear ratio in #5 for the Nexus 8 is actual direct drive?)
