UTFS! ha ;P
There ain't that much out there but i've found the following:

(the pic on the left shows the one i have in mind, by that i mean the one i've seen just has a button either side of the crack arms. in other words, you don't have to shift the whole crack as shown in the pic on the right.)

On a similar note, i came across this beast:

Sheldons AW to 2-sp fixed works, but has ~80 degrees of backlash due to the play between clutch arms and the pins on the planet cage. Much better is to convert S-A 5-speed (the old S5, not the new SunRace ones) to 3-sp fixed (same Sheldon method). The planet cage has machined recesses/stops that the clutch arms fit into snugly, with only a few degrees of play.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
