Thanks. I suppose I'll fully assemble it, attempt ajustment of the shifter cable, and see where that lands me. Hopefully not onto the pavement over the handlebars.

I found this article online regarding the tendency for the hub to rotate the sprocket, and the writer mentions that it will occur with the indicator fully disconnected from the shifter.

I have no experience with 3-speeds (obviously), but my first rule of riding will be to never stand on the pedals or rest my full weight on them when coasting.
