Philip: How do you like the S2 hub? Do you notice drag in overdrive? I've seriously considered kickbacks, SRAM or SA, as second wheels for my fixie Rivs, but unfortunately both are overdrive rather than underdrive, requiring either swapping out a ring for a small one, or installing a cog too large for my dropouts (if I keep the same chain, which I want to do). Of course, with 9 speed or older SRAM masterlinks, it would be easy to splice in or out a section of chain to accomodate a larger rear cog without pulling the axle off the dropouts ... I certainly don't want to mess with my rings.
For example: on the errand Riv: 48 X 17/19 Dingle with 24.75" wheel = 70" and 63"; with 17/20 Dingle, 70 and 60. If I were to use a 24 t cog on a S2, that would give me a 50" low/direct and a 68" overdrive. On the gofast, I've thought of installing a kickback with coaster brake, since the gofast has only a front caliper. 46 X 15 = 76" on the "normal " wheel, but with a 21t cog on the S2, I'd get a 54" direct and a 75" overdrive high. The S2, at least the non-coaster brake one, weighs about the same as the S3X. I probably would have been better off with S2s than the S3X.
