not sure what you mean. if i used gears from the gear box to the 3 speed hub that would reverse the direction. i'm using the 3 speed hub to get more reduction than the 3 to 1 box offers plus getting 3 speeds and no need for a free wheeling crank set. i should have it ready for a test drive in a few days.
