Or SimpleOne. I wonder whether, if I get another bike made, I should have
it built with slanted track ends instead of horizontal dropouts. Here's the
thought: It might be nice to have a bike that could take a 12 t cog (S3X
hub, giving me cruising and low in the 2 and 3 positions, and a 1.33X high
of -- in my case -- ~95" for downhills); but -- with another wheel --
accommodate a 22 t climbing cog as well as the 17 t cruising cog. That's 10
teeth, and a 1 1/4" axle movement; but of course how much this theoretical
distance is actually available depends on where your axle starts with one
of the extreme gears.
Needless to say, I'd not try this on a bike meant to have fenders (tho' the
2003 presently is happy with a 17 and a 22 under the VO fenders).
