While still listed on the website [1], it seems that the DualDrive hubs
may not be available. Anyone know for sure? [1] http://www.sram.com/sram/trekking-comfort/products/dual-drive-27, http://www.sram.com/sram/trekking-comfort/products/dual-drive-24. -- Tºm Shermªn - 42.435731,-83.985007 I am a vehicular cyclist. |

HP Velotechnic still lists them as the standard gear system for their Scorpion recumbent trike. I went with the derailleur system, but the shop owner asked me if I wouldn't like the Dual drive instead. Kerry |

Found five online retailers worldwide who claim to have them in stock, but none in the USA. Start with http://www.langtoninfo.co.uk/showite...216183&loc=AUD and http://www.bicyclestore.com.au/sram-dual-drive-ii.html Of course they could be lying. Only way to know for sure is to drop them a 'mail. I have one in back of a Swift folder. Very satisfactory after I rectified the ****-poor wheel lacing job performed by G*e*n*p*ed Trikes in Melbourne Australia. PH |

They should take elementary arithmetic lessons from SRAM. Here's how Sam & Randy figured it: Start with a 3-speed internal hub, about $135. Subtract the single-cog driver, about $20. Add a splined cassette driver, about $30. Total price: over $250. Sturmey gets a total of about $120 more or less, depending on retailer. No silly click box, either, for those who know what 1 mm of free play in the cable looks like. What kind of way is that to do business? They should know, no good deed shall go unpunished. |

I doubt it will ever catch on in the recumbent bicycle subculture if it costs less than twice what it should. |

I doubt it will ever catch on in the recumbent bicycle subculture if it costs less than twice what it should. Yet many will spend $5K or more for a horsey position bicycle [1] using 50 to more than 100 year old technology. After all, the drop-bar road bike has not changed significantly since the introduction of lever shifted derailer gearing in the 1950's. If I were to spend that much, I would want technology not used before on cycles, such as a rotational-molded body on a velomobile [2], particularly if I was one of the first five (5) owners in the Western Hemisphere. [1] Even some with steel frames and leather saddles. [2] Particularly if mention of said velomobile annoys certain horsey position bicycle riders. -- Tºm Shermªn - 42.435731,-83.985007 I am a vehicular cyclist. |

Rotational molding was used as far back as 1855, actually some 25 years older then the "safety bicycle". The major advantage to rotational molding is its lower cost relative to injection molding. |
