Three rings*, or just shine the perfect chainline. A 44t ring and a 17/21 dingle cog with a 15t flip gives you those exact gears on a 35mm 700c tire. Patrick would need a 50t ring on his 559x25 tires. Much cheaper than a Phil hub, and much lighter than an S3X. I expect to find my biases confirmed in favor of fixed dingle (tringle?) setups, but I'm still infatuated with weird gear hubs. *110/74, TA rings, cassette/cogs with Surly Fixxer.
