I did a little research and the red and yellow hubs are geared the same with a low gear and a 1:1.  The difference is the type of brake used.  Red hubs are early 60s, yellow late 60s.  It's the blue hubs that have an overdrive, I always thought it was the red.


I have a couple of bikes with kick back hubs and they're ok.  I just don't like how they shift every time you brake.  It puts me in the wrong gear a lot here on these hilly roads but I think they would be great in more level terrain.
