Good to see you’re back out on this beauty

You can’t shift on the fly with the hub, but there’s the option to unscrew a lever arm that runs into the hub and then bolt it to the hub. When it is in this position it’s in 1:1. When bolted to frame it is in 1:1.5.
If you zoom into the first photo by the hub you can see how it is bolted to frame. I tend to keep it in high gear and just get help with mounting. Free mounting might be possible eventually but out of scope for me right now.
I’m fine with this as it means when riding you basically have nothing to focus on other than riding. No brake. No shifting, accidental or otherwise.
The cranks are Kookas - cotterless and very cool. From checking eBay they seem pretty rare too!
Thanks, I see a set of 175 on ebay for $850.00 , ouch.
Wow. That’s more than I remembered them costing. They’re nice but I’d not pay that much for them ![]()
Link to that tire?
Hey Terry ![]()
It’s all detailed here
I should add on this narrow rim I am leaning towards 40/45PSI. Once that’s dialled it it handles rough paths surprisingly well, and I’ve not had any camber issues or odd squirming from it.
Like it so much got a back up in case it ever stops being made!
