I thought they'd gone to just running 2 speeds as of late?

This is correct. We only ran 3 speeds in 2004. We didn't find the added complexity and weight to be worth the added gear ratio.

2013 was the first season since 2004 that we haven't made our own transmissions. This season we went with the vexpro ball shifter and will likely use them again in the future FWIW.
