  • I run a 3 speed fixed hub. Partly because I'd be walking round where I live if I didn't, and partly because it is fun.

    As other post suggested, it can be tricky to get the selection dialled even with the latest hub. (SA S3X) and it is heavy.

    Great for taking it easy when you want to cruise and then dropping a cog when a challenger appears. Besides, dragsters are temperamental. ;o$

    Tilover also runs one, I think.

    I would love a 3 speed fixed hub but they are not cheap!

    basically i want to set my self up with 2 commuters, one every day fixed, nice n simple, but then i need something for when i need to carry a bit more than usual, or just cruise along without a bag

    so i was thinking about sticking a 3 speed hub in a Pompino with a basket and panniers on it, still keeping it simple with just 3 gears but i can still change down and get up those hills when i'm carrying a lot of weight.
