I've recently converted an older 12-speed into a single speed bike, and have been having a blast riding around. I just removed all the derailleur and shifter setups, and locked my chain onto the 40/18 gear set. It's almost a perfect straight shot, so it's quiet, smooth, and quite nice for riding around on. But it would be nice to clean it up a bit.
I see the SRAM Automatix has two things that would be nice... A second gear, for a little more range, and a coaster hub, which would let me remove another clincher brake set and associated cabling.
I can't for the life of me find a source in Canada where I can buy one though. Do I have to order online from the US, or does anyone here know where I could find one? I'm looking for a 36 hole coaster setup, not freewheel. Any help appreciated!
