NOS Dana 3 speed.

[Onewheelsqueel]

Wanted one for a while. Found it on eBay with a buy it now or best offer. Made a fair offer but didn't expect to get it. Well it's mine. Payed a little more than a good used one, but it's not worn and had everything. Worth it at that point to me to not have a hassle. Got it in the mail yesterday.

[quote author="@onewheelsqueel" source="/post/34117/thread" timestamp="1370490067"]When I got home late from work it was on the porch. Wasted no time unboxing it and opening it up. [br][br]

[br][br]All shiny and new old. [br][br] Looked easy to do so I took it out to the garage and proceeded to put it on. [br][br]

Got it on even though with my current back probs I shouldn't have. Took it round the block. Pretty cool. Loud compared to modern internal hubs and a solid shift to it. But so cool.

Nice find!

They are a bit quirky...but they do okay if you can get it adjusted properly.

The only complaint that I have about mine is that it seems like you have to pedal a lot in the lower gears and you don't feel like you're going anywhere.

It may just be mine though.

Being nos it was bolt on and go. No fuss no muss. Maybe put a smaller rear sprocket on yours.

I have one of these things to aswell. a neat piece. I've tried getting rid of the bloody thing for a year and a half now I believe. I gave in and its hanging with some other odd bike stuff now. Though I just had the idea of installing it on my worksman trike. Im not sure if it can handle the pressure though.the worksm an is a single speed and one of these would fix that. let me know how it rolls. If i remember right it wasn't fun lol

I think it's pretty darn cool. Can't attest to durability but I'd think it would do ok on a trike.

As for ratios someone posted em on UGV if you yahoo Dana 3 speed bike transmission you can find it.

I'm glad I bought it. I love vintage accessory's and its functional, as primitive as it is compared to today's internal geared hubs. Ill post a outside pic when I get home.
