Teeth counted by Konstantin Shemyak.
The disassembly/reassembly instructions for the hub, at www.shimano.com/publish/content/global_cycle/en/us/index/tech_support/tech_tips.download.-Par50lparsys-0022-downloadFile.html include detailed photos and drawings.

This ratio is the product of those of the first and second stages
