I remember reading something 3 or 4 months ago here, but that was someone trying to run two forward gears by placing them on each side - I was in agreement with everyone who said that it simply would not work.
This is not what I am planning here, only one forward gear, but back pedaling freewheels the drive side rear cog and 'drives' the non-drive side cog - making the bike essentially fixed but with differing ratios on forward and backward drive.
I sounds more complicated that it actually is in reality, it's a fairly straightforward, if not conventional, setup !!
