Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

S3X question r.e. shifting

Hi all,

I am new to fixed gears and really like the idea of the S3X fixed hub, however I have heard various things said about the shifting. So basically I want to know:

- how does it feel when it shifts?
- is it easy to adjust to the change in cadence?
- what is this about the chain feeling slack?

Ultimately...is it worth it?

Thanks

Daven
