Re: "Dog shifters"

actually, in a dog shifting design, the gears freewheel on the shaft until engaged by the dog. so they need to be on bearings. The dog is rotationally fixed to the shaft. Via a key or something simillar, and slides across the shaft. This is the extent of my knowledge, though. except that you'd better have a beefy key if you're doing it that way. greasing it up good should work, though.
