My advice? Ride it as it is. I enjoyed my S3X, but found I prefer the simplicity of a single or double-single setup. After 10+ years of fixed riding, I now have a freewheel on two bikes, and I'm enjoying it. Both are White Industries, both are loud-ish. Single-sided shifting (two rings, and a dingle cog or Dos Eno FW) is 50x more usable than wheel-flipping. So much simpler and faster, that you might actually do it. I generally bull up short hills (under a mile), and change gears for sustained climbs.
