[TheThinkTank] setting a 3-speed in #2 without cables

[Bob Giordano]

quick comment- if you are stuck without a cable/shifter set for the
shimano style 3-speeds, you can slip a thick washer under the
spring-activated gear shifter located on the hub (a small rock works too).
 This will keep the hub in second speed (or 1st if you'd like), instead of
the harder gear 3.   -Bob, Free cycles missoula
