I'll never have to take a 2-speed hub apart n tinker with it, instead I can just watch this video haha https://respectcycles.com/automatix-build/
Those are great hubs.... I was modifying the 2 speed automatic hub Four Years Ago .. but I wound my own springs to replicate the existing torsion type springs used, as opposed to a compression spring (like the Bic pen)... not that a compression spring wouldn't work long term, but I preferred going with a torsion spring.
