DIY 2-speed fixed hub
Anyone ever attempted this on a Sturmey Archer? The instructions for it (from 3-speed free) were released by SA in '81, but there was supposedly a lot of backlash with the fixed. I'd use these instructions. Does anyone have an idea for how to do this differently to eliminate some of this backlash?

Also, I'd love to do the Bendix conversion (found here), but would have to find a cable-actuated (not the kickback) Bendix hub. Anyone have one lying around?
