Converting fixie to 2 speed
Hi. I bought Felt Brougham Whiteout to my girlfriend but we found out that fixie is not her thing. Now, we bought Sturmey Archer S2 kickshift hub gear, and now I have few questions . Can I fit mavic A319 https://www.mavic.com/en/product/rims...lon/rims/A-319 rim in my frame and what would be maximum tire width (thinking about 32 or 35 c even, originally is 28c)for my frame and brakes?
Didnt take photos but found some on the net

Maybe. Not near enough info in the questions to get an answer.
S2 hubs come in different versions (https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...Archer%20S2%20). Which one do you have?? Start with spoke hole count, does the rim even come with the same number of holes as the hub you bought???
None of the photos you attached show the tire going through the seat stay at the top. That's where the" problem would show up. But, you have the bike......a measurement would let you know how much room you have and how much more tire would fit. Tire sizes are not exact. Not all 35s are 35mm.

So far as the S2 Duomatic goes, the OP did not write the word "Duomatic" in his post. He wrote exactly "Sturmey Archer S2 kickshift hub gear", nothing more, nothing less.
How about a thirty-two hole in black********************???:

the Sturmey Archer S2 kickshift hub gear is listed on Sturmey Archers website as a Duomatic....I have been riding one for about 2 years now.
32H is new....
buy a couple of cogs (up and down from what you think you need) and 2-3 snap rings unless you have snap ring pliers...removing the ring with anything else will destroy it
