Re: Interesting off the shelf transmission

Maybe I'm revealing my age but,... This type of 3 speed hub has been around a long time. I remember specifically this type of hub being on my older brothers bike when we were kids.

As it has already been mentioned, this hubs application in FRC may be a bit limited. That being said, it is definitely useful for the purpose of learning.
My bet is, if I say it has no use in FRC, some team will use it to perfection!
I couldn't ask for anything more.
