[FC] FC wheel rims

[Bryan Blackwell]

I don't know if you got a more definitive answer, but I thought the  
FCs used a pattern like this.

3 Speed:

R   2

1   3

4 Speed:

R   1   3

     2   4

It sounds like you're finding reverse and second.  1st on the early  
FCs (I forget what year yours is) was pretty low, in an empty one you  
could probably use 2nd to get underway.
