After yesterday's experience commuting to work, I intentionally avoided any path going over a drawbridge when going to work today. I also, without really meaning to at first, went the entire way without shifting. That's all the evidence I need to consider that gear my "flat" gear for my 3-speed bike rebuild. If anything, it could be a touch faster, because there will still be two lower gears for hills, but there were at least some gentle grades today.
Rebuilding the hub on my 3-speed is looking more and more appealing. There are plenty of tutorials, several places for spare parts, and it doesn't look particularly mechanically complex. Since that wheel is trash anyway (steel rims), I may just take the hub out myself and ditch the rest of the wheel, then rebuild the hub. I may also simply buy another hub just to have as a spare/source of spare parts/rebuild practice. Anyway, that's all for today. Short, simple entry for a short, simple day.
