Thanks, Philip. Aye, it’s the low gear that concerns me. With bikepacking load it will have the rear wheel portion of 280 lbs on it including my 200 lb engine. I rarely skid except in mud or snow, and I tend to use backpedaling as my primary brake, and I brake hard as needed, only going to handbrakes when needed to suppliment. So it will be ridden hard enough that I’m not sure I want to push it with a fixed on freewheel, even with the Rotafixed (I understand the physics of it). The threaded fixed eccentric hub sounds like the way to go. Now, to find one 135, 36 hole, silver. Grin.
