Quote from: Mal Volio on 04 September, 2008, 06:24:29 pmMy ideal fixed hub gear would be simple 2-speed design with no neutral, and no lossy planet gears, shiftable only when stationary. Ratios maybe 70 and 60". With the 70 as direct drive, and no backlash. Like a TFThat would be just like turning the wheel round, but easierYes.72'' and 81'' for me please.

The more I think about it, the more the Dingle makes sense. 40/19 and 42/17 for 57" and 67".
I just hope they pitch it at an accessible "clubman" kind of price, and not up in the Rohlosphere.
The bad news is that any 3-speed weighs as much as a triple derailleur setup (that nice alloy case is almost full of case-hardened steel), so you have to look at the other advantages.
