Oh noes! :? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YerBr3ok1U Someone better tell this lot that before they have too much fun.

Re: Sturmey Archer Questions. That was (still is) in near perfect original condition. Not bad for a bike that is about 40 years old! And that is another thing, they are pretty robust but can have age related issues, the front suspension bushes can wear which will play havoc with the steering...

Re: Sturmey Archer Questions. That's right - quite a nifty design. The Sturmey drum then (as now) does not want to be oiled - although if you did you would probably not make the S3B any worse than it was. One of my old (now sold) Mk3's, you can see how the drum brake was held.

Re: Sturmey Archer Questions. Just had a closer look at your picture on the other thread. The rear brake is not what was on there originally. It would have come with a S3B hub with a tiny (and pathetically useless) drum brake on there. They did not work from new, so whatever they have stuck...

Re: Sturmey Archer Questions. If you have an S5 (with or without 3-speed internals) on the Mk3 what are you using for a rear brake? :shock:

I think you've got a bit of a gem there. The rear hub is a Sturmey S3B which should change gear ok but has the worlds worst drum brake. The bottom bracket is that old Raleigh affair - 26tpi and is rather wide, makes changing it a bit of a challenge. Rims, I imagine 28h, Brompton 349's will...

Yeah, to this page! If I want to complain that this person is using a picture I deliberately chose not post openly, I will thanks. You can do what you want.

That is becasue he has nicked that picture from my posting on the Moulton Yahoo group page and is using it without permission. I'm not impressed. :evil:
