TWO REALLY USEFUL GEARS ARE BEST OF ALL
The lower gear of the Villiers Two-Speed is direct-drive to give you maximum power with minimum effort on hills ; and the higher gear is ideal because it is not too high for regular use. It is impossible to miss your gear when changing with the Villiers Two-Speed because it has no neutral position. The Villiers is the lowest-priced and strongest gear made and can be fitted to most existing cycles almost as easily and quickly as a freewheel, or supplied with your new one.
