Hiya Patrick,
As someone who lives and rides in the wet and crowded Mid-Atlantic, I'm
always interested to see what someone in the high desert gets excited
about. IGH, tubeless, it goes on. Happy that you're sharing. It's why I'm
here.
Best

I know that this list could not care less about hub gears, but I'm
chuffed, as they say. I got a used but still vg (per the seller with high
rating; must disassemble and see for myself; has 50 or 60 years of dried
lubricant inside) Holy Grail of hub gears, a 1950 ASC, missing proprietary
shifter, but with the sole other SA shifter that can be modified (and may
have been modified already; have question in to seller) for the peculiar
cable pull required by this hub.
It is a backup/eventual parts donor for the NOS one currently in use in
the Matthews Riv Road errand clone that was modified by Aaron in Seattle
with a modern, 32-hole aluminum shell (with properly modern thick
flanges!)
and threaded driver (instead of proprietary 12-spline driver for very rare
1/8" proprietary SA cogs) for either Surly fixed cog (currently 17 t
3/32")
or ss freewheel. I've been riding this hub instead of the earlier AM
because it has better ratios: direct/high/3rd, 90%/underdrive/2nd, and
75%/underdrive/1st, for 72"/65"/54" instead of the AM's freewheel 75"/115%
overdrive/third, 65" direct/second, and 56" 86.54%/underdrive/first. The
3rd-2nd gap is better on the ASC.
And it's all silver! With aluminum shell.
Just made a short but very pleasant detoured grocery run, carrying home
39 lb in front and rear Ortlieb roll-tops.
I know you don't care, but I do and I had to crow.
Over and out.
