1262892993 SRAM torpedo hub tested

i originally POSTED about the SRAM torpedo a long while ago, but today i found a pretty thorough REVIEW of it on one of my most-favorite bike blogs.

of interesting negative note is the slack issue.
of interesting positive note is the superior cold weather performance.
of interesting hysterical note is the trick to unfreeze a stuck freewheel in the winter. yes, i have done that.
