Message-ID: <571@ariel.UUCP> Date: Wed, 14-Mar-84 18:28:12 EST Article-I.D.: ariel.571 Posted: Wed Mar 14 18:28:12 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 15-Mar-84 07:22:03 EST References: <5882@umcp-cs.UUCP> Organization: AT&T-ISL, Holmdel, NJ Lines: 13 The supposed advantage to having the freewheel in the bottom bracket rather than in the rear hub is that you can shift at any time that the bike is rolling and not just when you are pedalling. This is a weak point at best, I think. Joseph L. Wood, III AT&T Information Systems Laboratories, Holmdel (201) 834-3759 ariel!jlw
