The key thing is keep the center of gravity of the ring at the drive axle. If
it is 1mm off then you will need a lot more torque, and the rotation speed will
be non-uniform.
You can just use 3 bevel gears or this piece http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/46217 to do counter rotation. What is keeping
you from running the axle through the center?

And speed is actually something I don't want - the HabRing has to be very slow since I'm going to have detail I want people to see inside of it. (...)
