Anyone know when the Sturmey Archer S2C hub will be available in shops?

A two-speed hub with kick-back gear change and coaster brake. A little back-pedal changes the gear (from high to low, or low to high) and a big back-pedal engages the powerful brake. Sounds fun!

Cheers!

Hi, The S2C is due in the UK in the next week or so. Get to your LBS & ask for one now!

but it is 116mm axle width, so still not mtb frame compatible (135mm) - chain line will be all to cock....

or have I mis-read the spec?

otherwise I just found the hub i need..... sorry NEED..

Well, the wheel turns full circle. My Raleigh 20 had a Sturmey setup like that in ooh, about 1970.

Agree except for the 116mm spacing. Have asked Sturmey Archer about 135mm adaptability but no response yet.

Also weighs well over a kilo. Have to ask yourself why.
