  • I tried to find info on this last time you mentioned it but couldn't. With this I'm assuming he has an easier ratio to start with that is shifted, shifts, whatever into a higher ratio for smashing out remainder of the kilo.

    Surely this can't be done in a track kilo though as you're only allowed the one gear ratio?

    I'm sure I heard how this was done but can't remember the exact details. I think it used 2 cogs on a flip flop style hub with no lock rings, the low starting gear fully tightened up on the normal non drive side connected to a tandem crank/right hand crank. On the standard drive side it had the higher gear not fully wound on. At the start the low gear would operate until the higher one fully wound onto the hub and engaged probably knocking the other one free which would unwind its self. I think this was the basic principle.
