Re: The in-wheel swerve shifter!
If you took a Sturmey Archer S3X fixed gear 3 speed hub you could make a 3 speed swerve drive. It would most likely be to wide but it would work for testing and as a base for a interesting design. Remove the flanges and mount some tread to the hub and you have a 3 speed wheel. You would want to cut the axils down and a few other things but it would be great for testing concepts and to work from.
