  • Cheers, that's what I wanted to hear. Yeah I'm gonna start with an 18t cog so the direct drive should be the same 44/18 I'm used to. Was considering getting a 22t or thereabouts as well tho - that way I could have a set up with the same top end as I'm used to, an uphill gear and a massive hill/touring gear. Is that a bad idea - as the gear I would use the most wouldn't be direct drive?

  • You can thread a single freewheel onto an S3X, then you have direct drive in top gear and two lower gears using the planetary.

    I'm missing something.

    If the middle gear on the hub is direct, how does adding a freewheel rather than a fixed cog mean that top gear will be direct?
