And how many spokes does the Bendix hub take?

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.

Re: [RBW] Re: Another S3X hub

[Patrick Moore]

Yes, I know, such a juvenile name, but the advantage of this product
compared to the AW is that direct is high, so that with a freewheel you
have a sturdy and low-drag 3 speed hub with a decent cruising ratio and
some good climbing gears, and don't waste High on some hugely useless
overdrive.

Compared to adding a derailleur to the '03, this is a very quick and easy
temporary swap.

Why did SA choose a 133% overdrive for the AW's high? I can't fathom that.
