I just got from RaleighChopper in Cyprus, ONE NOS Resilion 40 hole rear hub, CHEAP. he has a box of em I guess, BUT this one, that I a Brit from the 40s and 50s has NOT seen before, One side is for a 4-5 sp cassett, the other side is for a FIXED single gear! quite a difference to the double sided fixed I allways had, Why would you need a gear one side and fixed the other? you would have to remove all the gear kit. but I guess it would save getting another wheel built with a fixed hub, could this be another $$$GBP saving ploy, along with the road path frames that we used? anyhow I thought this interesting to hub collectors, Hilary any thoughts on this, Cheers John Crump oldseeneverthingnowBrit, Parker, Co USA
