I'm surprised the bearings are so accessible to the elements; Sturmey's designs were often preferable to others because of their ability to cope with British weather. I wonder if the kickback idea could be used to engage a third gear? </p> Dave on "The (finally, fixed) S2C hub reviewed" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5947#post-63564 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 10:44:20 +0000 Dave 63564@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeah, where possible I think right-mounting it is preferable, mainly because it projects into traffic, but also because you won't then find it jabbing your ankle if you walk with your bike on the right!</p> <p>(Rule 63 - always present the sharp and oily bits to other people) </p> Darkerside on "The (finally, fixed) S2C hub reviewed" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5947#post-63554 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 09:42:49 +0000 Darkerside 63554@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not wishing to put words in Dave's mouth, but mine's on the right as it sticks the angled connection bar out into traffic rather than near the curb. Coupled with some reflective tape, it's another prompt to cars to overtake wide. </p> wee folding bike on "The (finally, fixed) S2C hub reviewed" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5947#post-63545 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 07:27:33 +0000 wee folding bike 63545@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The CarryFreedom hitch moves from left to right.
