kington99 specified -reverse- torque. The CV hub is probably designed so
that the frictional force is increased with forward torque (like a
rotating lock down) and decreased with reverse torque. Hence, you can
stand on the pedals and it won't slip and you can reverse the direction
and get it to slip by hand.

Sturmey Archer and some other free-wheeling geared hubs have a
directional design, also. Their gear teeth are more like ratchets and
will easily lock in the forward direction but slip in the reverse
direction.



oke i did not read that part good i think englich is alsow not my first

i can see how it would slip because of the no torgue at the point you
are starting to push backwards.

i know how the other geared hubs work (working on the saterday;s at my
lbs)
