Internal gears

[The History Man]

I have a set of hub braked hub geared 26" sturmey wheels here with grip shifter and a 1" fork for the front hub brake mount but not essential to use it. . Complete with cables and stops etc. Never used by me as my direction changed.....

YOu can have the lot for £50 posted and have a play with as much or as little as you want.

Hey mate, sorry for the slow reply. I might be interested but I have some things I need to buy for an upcoming build, so it'll have to wait. I might get in touch sometime and if they're still just gathering dust I'd be happy to put the set to good use.

I hear Sturmey Archer AW is the 3-speed hub to go for. Apparently "AW" stands for "Actually Works".
Haver one in the shed, hoping to overhaul and use one day.
But what's there to maintain with a rear hanger set-up? Unless you bend the hanger it's plug & play surely? 6x1, 7x1, 8x1, 9x1? Just run a set of 3 chains and bob's your uncle.

Looks less clean, also don't need all the gears. Also my new frame is for hub braked setups

The Nexus 3 speed is also very sturdy. But Sturmey Archer hub brakes are superior to coaster and roller brakes (nexus). This is for the Schwinn? Pretty cool. 3 speed do have big gaps between gears, but on and off hills it might be useful.

Yep
Just about to throw out the box………

Hub brakes?

Jesus, just use discs if you want poor performance...

Yup nexus 3 is a sweet thing I love mine such a lovely sound !
And gear gaps on a sturmey are never quite right however I treat em as a single speed in 2nd that's the gear to get right then 1st and 3rd are underdrive and overdrive!
