Anyone using this hub?
 
As hosted by the fixed gear gallery:

Sram 3 speed hub converted to 2 speed fix'd (20mb pdf)

Would be great for the hills round here, anyone converted one of these?

I dunno about those but I know a few people with converted sturmey archers. If I remember right, you can't skid on them.

sheldon's got a diagram here:

that's for sturmey archer. never tried it, but i think it's kind of complicated, and you sacrifice some performance

According to the pdf, converting the AW is a huge hassle and doesn't work as well as a Sram conversion.

You can convert bendix as well, some guy has one or two of them on FGG.

It hardly seems to be some great commercial venture. pdf's are known to be truthful to a fault.

if you want 2 why not just get 10?

because it's possible to make a fixed-gear 2 speed, but impossible to make a fixed-gear 10 speed (at least with the amounts of money anybody's willing to spend on the problem)...
