The Truvativ Hammerschmidt is a crankset that has an internal-geared-hub mechanism built into it.

From a BMX standpoint, this is a much better solution, because almost all internal-gear rear hubs greatly weaken the rear axle. You don't want to do huge drops on a IGH.

By moving the IGH mechanism to the middle of the bike, you allow your axles to be as strong as they need to be.

The Hammerschmidt is part of SRAM's business, so it's a reliable brand.
