I have only seen one in my life but never adjusted one! can you post pictures please.
Uhhhh.....no. Lol. Gimme a bit.
I got a nos twin stick sport shifter with it as well.
That is mechanical mayhem! Awesomeness!
I want to try that hub and the derailered 3 speed, someday!.

While researching it I found a guy stacking shimano offset cogs / derailer, and running a igh as a two speed input. Neat.
Someone help please, before I mess it up. I did already look at Sheldon Browns site as well.

when you said dual chain, I was expecting dual CHAINS!
I have seen those but never adjusted one. I would assume the right side adjusts gears 1-3 like a normal SA, and you should be able to adjust the left side in a similar manner, but it just has two speeds 4-5. Wish I could help more. Good luck.

Yeah saw that, single side not double.
Your probably right about the rt side. It is the three speed side.

The left side is for shifting from 5-4 and 2-1 and you adjust it in 5th gear
, there should be no tension on the cable in 5th and in 1st gear.
The right side is for gear 4-3-2 and there should be no tension on your cable in 4th gear
Try to pull the chain on the right side with your hand, if the left side is loose it should shift 5-3-1

Customize!
