jackshaft from coaster hub?

Reverse we would be awesome, I've been trying to figure that out too.

Won't be a trike or a two wheeler.

Yup

Perfect.... that's what the "Q" in QS-RC5 stands for.... best use for a reverse gear.

I was just reading up on it, turns out some people can't figure out how to make it go in reverse.
The whole reverse/coaster brake thing is confusing, but I'll keep reading.

I never had my hands on one, so i haven't the foggiest. I assumed it takes a special shifter, so when you put it in reverse, the gear isn't connected to the coaster? But, TBH, I haven't a clue.... i'll google it.

I want to buy one just to take it apart and (hopefully) blow my mind permanently.

Those are the same files I saw earlier, it's interesting stuff.

I'm thinking the same thing, might have to buy one regardless.
