what do you do with one flange and two sprockets?
back story: the dcfixed dudes bought a lot of 60 frames and assorted parts from a local man (thanks, bob buttafuso!). in the lot were several brand new nexus hubs which had been DIY modified. someone had removed the drive-side set of flanges and replaced it with a second sprocket.
the mystery: what do you do with an internal hub with one set of flanges and two sprockets?
my theory: double crankset, two chains, an action figure on each chain. pedal backward. watch it go.
OR maybe he matched gear ratios and torque and was trying to DIY a robot?
i think i might use one to build a rotisserie grill.

Intermediate drive, often used on small wheeled recumbents, to step up the gearing. Can also be used with larger drive wheels to provide W I D E range of gears.

flange as in "rim where spokes attach" or axle nut or surface opposing axle nut? Give us a pic! If you mean rime where spokes attach I'd say the hub was going to be installed in the middle of a solid axle on a tricycle maybe and would never see spokes, w/ a second cog there to double the Nexus gearing by adding a derailluer, something that would be handy on a heavy vehicle, or above a solid axle, with the second cog there to transmit to the axle

i mean flange. i get what willfcc's saying - no wheel to build, just spins around the axle and then two chains on each sprocket. thanks, that makes some sense. damn shame about a brand new nexus hub though.
it's gonna make a tasty chicken!
EDIT: right, "rim where spokes attach." will get pictures. it's all sitting in a backyard in NE DC right now though.

The innuendo potential of the thread title is doing my head in.

My money is on hub for a 3-speed trike.
Sun makes tons of these, the sprocket connects the 3-speed hub to the drive shaft through a small chain, and the hub is not laced to a wheel.
