Reliable Stopping Power

I recommend this product

Prosreliability, braking, price

I've been using this hub on my cruiser style bike towing a trailer full of camping gear in Wales. It's proven very reliable except on those very few occasions when I've forgotten to take up any stretch in the gear cable (duh!). I especially appreciate the larger size drum brake which won't overheat as much when towing the trailer down long descents. The 3speed trigger that comes with it might look plasticy, but again seems to be perfectly positive in action and reliable. It's easy to fit a different sprocket to raise or lower the range of gears.

Will This And The Equivalent Front Hub Fit A1970S Raleigh Roadster

1974 Raleigh sports currently fitted with SA 3 speed aw hub on 26 1 3/8 590 rims. Would like to change to drum brakes . Are the widths etc the able to work? Many thanks

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

You will need to double check by measuring the OLN measurement of your frame but it is unlikely as this hub uses and OLN measurement of 130mm where as a lot of older Sturmey 3spd hubs were much narrower usually around 117/118mm.

Thanks.

What Gear Shift And Sprocket Is A Good Match For This?

By Anonymous

There are so many to choose from :)
I am interested in a sprocket that will make for easier hillclimbs.

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

All of the SLS30 3spd Sturmey Archer shifters are compatible and suitable for use with this hub, you merely need to decided which type of shifter you would prefer. The larger the rear sprocket the lower the gear, so if you're looking for a low gear for hill climbing, something like a 22T sprocket may be the best option. One of these would be SJSC part number 19337.

Thanks.
