Bikepacking fixed gear 3speed via Master Link “shifts” in the field

The idea is simple and harkens back to the early days, with scorching and pass hunting and even racing, changing gear via flip flop hub and (instead of double chain ring to offset the tooth differential), lengthening or shortening the chain via the modern convience of a Master Link. With a dingle cog on one side with a fix/fix hub, this allows for three gears of about 70”, 50”, 38”. (I ride 2 fixed gear bikes, my only bikes, so I’m fixed on fixed. Grin.)

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions, experience? Thanks!

With abandon,
Patrick
