I’ve got a fairly standard commuter that’s currently running a Deore 27sp groupset for gears and stuff. Now, I have got it into my head that I want to replace this with a Sturmey Archer 3 speed with coaster brake on the back, whilst keeping a normal brake on the front. Might be a bit more difficult up the hills but I see people doing my Bristol commute on singlespeeds every day so it can’t be that bad.
Anyone ever fitted a new SA hub to a bike? From what I can tell they’re alot better than they used to be. I have a 50+ year old one on an old Raleigh and that’s still going strong. Or is this just a complete waste of time even thinking about it?
Thanks!
