We own one car between the two of us too. We walk a lot more to get where we need too. I love it!

Have fun with it. I have a bike with the S2 (no coaster brake). I like it okay, but it is a little annoying to me that it does not default down to the lower gear when it’s stopped. When slowing down I have to make a conscious effort to downshift, and even then sometimes I inadvertently upshift and start out in high gear. Aside from that, it’s a pretty practical hub.

A little late in my reply, but no, you cannot simply mount the old levers and shifters. Road bars are of a different diameter than flat bars.

I think these were Profile bars or something…

I of course apologize for the lateness in my reply, but sure, I don’t see why they wouldn’t work, if you don’t mind stem shifters.

That’s hilarious. I still think that’s better than the Whole Foods parking lot here in LA.

Nope. Headset is integrated on the Sirrus anyways. I did swap the stem for a shorter stem.

Did you have to change your headset when you did the swap?
