i think the guy who made it actually has set it up with a flip flop hub, fixed/fixed. (from memory)
Both are running identical gears. and he is a tool.

So one half of the drivetrain is completely redundant, since the chain tensions patently wont be identical. Idiot.

However, the different ratio free/free idea is VERY cool... dead easy skid stops but an awesome mashin' aboot town gear? Top notch.

You'd constantly have one ratchet clicking though.... thats gotta suck.

usually with freewheels, there's a certain amount of light grease/oil that makes it virtually silent without making it skip..
