Re: Hi-Lo with internal gears - the dream AA accessory

Re: Hi-Lo with internal gears - the dream AA accessory

Okay, thanks; makes sense now.

Maybe a dual-high gives us a poor-boy's Mitchell option for an A? For example, you run a 3.27 rear then add 5.50x19 bias ply tyres which brings you to around 3.08. ...

Re: Hi-Lo with internal gears - the dream AA accessory

Re: Hi-Lo with internal gears - the dream AA accessory

Re: Hi-Lo with internal gears - the dream AA accessory

Could you fit this to an A? Or is it strictly for AA? Hi-Lo tranny sold well on the TT but it was made as a rear mounted unit not front.
