There’s nothing more embarrassing than running into a situation on your bike where you are struggling to back it up and the next thing you know several people come “running to your rescue,” this is especially common with the heavy touring bikes or a bike loaded up with a week or two worth of gear. A few years ago Baker Drivetrain came out with a reverse setup for 6-speeds, the F6R—Factory 6 Reverse.

Well, to help out all those guys and girls who have bikes with Factory five-speeds or Baker’s DD6 on their bikes, Baker has come out with the F5R—Factory 5-speed Reverse system.

Here’s the specs from Baker
