Affix Hub: you seen this?

Here's the deal: it's kind of like the Sram Torpedo in that it runs fixed or free. However unlike the Sram which uses a screw to switch modes, the Affix is adjustable by hand.

This is accomplished as you may have guessed by "pushing and turning"

note the gap between the big ring thing and the hub body

Fixed

gap is now closed

Affix is a sister brand to BMX's KHE. The machining and quality looks good as you would expect from a company under the KHE roof.

That looks rad, wonder if it feels more solid than the Torpedo? Any word on the availability?

there seemed to be less play than on the Torpedo with the hub in hand. I have no idea the availability
