From experience, some....ok.... most of the simplicity of a fixed grear bike is lost when you set up a s3x hub. But you still maintian some of the very essential aspects of fixed gear riding such as: immediate speed & torque control, plus for an older or weaker rider it opens some additional terrian. Adding another IGH/BB to a s3x or asc hubbed bike would simply broaden the range of the bike. I'm thinking light touring, Rando. or just noodling in the mountians.
Since the Metropolis can shift under load, I'm wondering if it would be a good fit?
