Hi,
I have for sale an interesting wheel. SRAM Automatix 2 speed hub on deep section blue rim with dark blue clincher. All almost new/minty. Some mimiscule braking wear (surface is machined underneath paint).
I bought this as an experiment to see if 2 speed auto hub would work for hill climb competition however all things considered I prefer fixed.
The quality of the Sram hub is superb and the auto changes are very smooth. It has had the spring tension adjusted to change at about 15.5 mph. As soon as that speed is reached it changes up and then that gear can be maintained even at low speeds if pressure is maintained. A fractional easing off and it will then change down (below 15.5 mph).
Quite a heavy rim but not really noticable in use and adds to smooth speed maintenence. Really nice wheel to ride.
£65 Dibs and PM please - can be collected from High Barnet (end of Northern Line anytime or Spitalfields on a Thursday)
