Patrick: I ran a freewheel for a while on the S3X that I sold you. While running the freewheel on it, I had trouble at times getting it to shift. It seemed to shift better for me while running the fixed sprocket when I applied a little backwards force on the pedals. It was one of the reasons I cleaned it out. I thought perhaps the grease was making it stick. I still had the shifting trouble after I had cleaned it. I went back to fixed and didn't have any more trouble with it.
My shifting problems were similar to an AW when you shift from first to second. If you are pedaling hard it stays in first and then when you ease up it goes into second. Except I couldn't ease up because the freewheel kept me from doing this. It eventually would drop into the correct gear. If you really want to play around I have a Bendix manual 2 speed that you could turn into a 2 speed fix, but I have read the lash is quite extreme. It is also not on the light side.
