Thanks. Looks interesting for touring. I note Sturmey Archer's site also lists some fixed three speed hubs. Unsure if that is what they really mean though.

Yeah, gear shifting but no freewheel from what I gather. Not sure how that works with the 'stop pedalling to shift' nature of the normal hubs though.

I have a 3-speed in my pomp, its awesome. Gears for the road, for the tow-path, and for pooling around with the girlfriend when she's on her Pashley.

There's a bit of play in the hub (similar to slack chain) which is where you need to be when shifting. Basically just requires you to not be stamping on the pedals or backpedalling at the time of shifting - sounds harder than it is...
