There are a number of other options. Mostly 3 speed Sturmey's though. But they've got a decent range and go for ages with little to no maintenance. Its not a bad option but I always found the gear jumps way too big and the drive feels clunky compared to single gear.

The W in AW stands for wide. If you want to go racing, the medium range AM or close ratio AC are a better choice. The AC is like having a 3-speed dérailleur with 14/15/16 sprockets

I don't think you could fit that onto a Dolan FXE without some bodged up cable guide, the 2 speed has no cables so would work, still wouldn't recommend one over a normal hub though, just flip the wheel

The 2 speed kick shift hub would be your only option? it feels pretty naff compared to a nice track hub with a nice freewheel, plus you could just change your gear ratio if you're climbing
