Your rear gear, I see there are two. Are both usable? Can you turn the wheel around and use the other gear? Flat vs hill gear? thanks.
they are both usable... it is called a flip flop hub... on one side I have a BMX Freewheel, essentially making the bike a single speeder. if I take the wheel off, and flip it around... on the other side I have a track cog. There is no coasting with that. when the wheels are moving, the cranks are moving.
I guess you could set it up with 2 different gears... but both of mine are 16 Teeth
hope this helps
