New Departure 2 speed questions

[mbstude]

I’ve never had one, or ridden one. Is the extra gear an under or overdrive?

From what I can find online, all of the 2 speed “guts” will fit and work inside of a normal Model D hub, correct?

Does anyone have a complete “conversion kit” available?

They reduce the gear. The two speed guts as you say are two speed conversion units that will work with model D hubs. Your replacing the axel and drive side sprocket&driver with a geared driver and axel

3 different cog sizes. Attached chart shows the drive ratios.

They are the best two speed you can get. They work great and are easy to work on.

I think these are the best thing you can add to your bike.
I started with one and now have about 10.
