I'd sworn off riding multi-geared, but age and a knee that's now experiencing "trauma induced pre-arthritis" (old injury > surgery, pre-orthoscopic)--that makes it damned difficult to start up again at stops with the ol' efficiency--had me thinking that I might have to go back to a cassette freewheel. So much for solemn oaths . . .

Then I saw the S3X again, and in a new light. A revelation. I've now got the S3X hub built around a Deep V rim and hope to start commuting full time on the wheel next week. Just waiting for the SA set of cogs (14t-17t for experimenting with 48t chainring) to arrive in my mail box. At $6/cog, I'll happily wait fur 'em.

Anyone been using this hub for regular commuting?
