9.Do you currently own any internally geared hubs and if so which models?
No.
10.Is there currently a multi-speed fixed gear hub or conversion kit on the market that you know of?
There have been some sort of cobbled-together models people have made here and there but the slop factor has always turned me away from those ideas.
Ideally, the hub would have four settings: -33%, direct-drive, +%33 and freewheel, for my purposes. The freewheel part of things could probably only exist in a ground-up-re-engineered product. Some conversions out there have a "freewheel" setting that simply disconnects the drivetrain from the hub. That's nice-n-all, but it'd be far nicer to be able to pedal.
Cheers!
