Sunrace S/A are now marketing the AW hub with a cassette very similar to the Sram offering,didn't count but I think it's got eight sprockets. They must now be confident that it can take the torque,i.e. a 28 tooth sprocket would need a chainring of 56 to make the minimum 2 to 1 ratio, and let's face it, a 56 tooth chainring is pretty unlikely.

Any linkage?
A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those can extrapolate from incomplete data.
