> I've been searching the archives in vain for my favorite weirdness in which the chain goes through a convoluted wrap that engages both sprockets of a two speed freewheel enabling a forward pedal action for one speed , and a backward pedaling for the other, , both freewheels are always moving, one to drive and the other in freewheel , I think it is a very old idea, and some list member has built one with great web pics , , I think this definitely needs to be on the list, someone help out, , , , , , regards, ,Tom Roberson
