Questions that are probably more idle and curious than practical, but:
1. Has anyone put 2 cogs on the S3X driver? There is room.
2. If so, what sizes, and why these?
3. I could install a 13 in addition to the 15 that is the default; this
would give me:
76-57-48 and 88-66-55
Or:
Philip: never mind; looking more closely, I see that you use your
right-side seatstay rack boss. Must add one of those myself, one day.
Aside: My intention for this hub, lash and all, is a cheap but OCD-plagued
man's way of getting gears for, say, an Eroica, that is, on the cheap and
without
I might try one of these, mounted to the seat tube with the cable running
directly to the pull chain -- ie, without roller or housing or housing
stop. That might make the shifter a bit more accessible. It looks as if one
can even remove the unused boss.
But the seatstay shifter works alright.
whoops, definitely meant to type seatstay. A chainstay shifter would be a
much different experience :O

Here are my thoughts on the

It was a fun hub, and I mounted my shifter on the seatstay, too. I ended up
preferring a fixed gear, but I need a second chainring to get the uphill
gear back.

Super cool!
I'm a big fan of shifters in new and strange places. Though I guess any
bicycle historian would argue there are probably no new or strange places.
I've been thinking that the Paul Silver Shifter adapter would be a good
starting point for a mod like this because it has a fairly
I agree that for most riding it is not worth the annoying lash or the
weight, and for most of my local riding I simply prefer to flip the wheel,
stand and grunt, or to walk.
But frankly, I arranged this setup for eventual longer rides -- the missed,

I briefly tried a S3X hub. I was excited about it having ridden primarily
fixed gear for over a year at the time when they were available. I built it
up and had the kit that came with a barend shifter. I used the shifter on a
dt boss instead of barend.
Took it for a spin and hated the lash. I
