So, a 16 tooth BMX freewheel is threaded onto the left side. This results in a hub that can be driven via a freewheel on the left and via fixed gear on the right, but the freewheel is reversed, so the hub is used with the freewheel is on the right and the shift chain is on the left. Despite the suspect nature of the mechanical connection, I've cranked the crap out of it and it appears to be holding quite well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #ff0000;\"\u003eI don't know anything about what was actually done to this hub or if it was done correctly, and it is sold AS IS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e*All of these catalogs came from a closed Schwinn dealer called Kings Cyclery in Casper, Wyoming that I bought out.  Everything was ordered directly from the Schwinn factory. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eExcellent cosmetic condition.
