DT,
CRUD! I just re-read your question and I understand what you're asking. If I'm getting it right... lets say you're cruising along at 25mph. You want to speed up. You twist the throttle to WOT. What happens? Depends on, as CBRobots mentions, many variables.
If the CVT is at its max ratio while you're cruising, then the engine will have to pull the rest. Max is max...period. It's not going to "downshift" to a lower range ratio and then pick back up again. If, however the CVT is "tuned" properly and has some more room to roam, then it will continue to change ratios until it DOES reach its max.
Did that help?

i'm going to be using a completely re-bearinged PB CVT just like yours.
yes, that's the answer i was after.
once the CVT has max'd it's range it isn't going to "downshift" under power, or unless the rpms fall under it's tuned threshold and keep falling.
thanks,
steve
