[Closed] Looking for S-A hub RS-RK3

[#7112545]

I'm trying to get my hands on a Sturmey-Archer RS-RK3 hub (disk version)

It has got the rotary action gearchange so there's no little chain sticking out of the end of the axle.

I've talked to the importers and it looks like they don't see a demand in the UK.

So I've looked at whatever sites I can in the EU and elsewhere, but can't see any for sale online.

Anyone got a clue where I could get one? (I did use the S-A contact form, but no answer to date)

Stu over on the bearbones website got something similar from the States.

If it's available in the EU then Cycle Division should be able to do a special import for you - need to go through a dealer though.

Thanks Ben. I have talked to Cycle Division - my dealer put me on the phone to them.

They can't help. (I got their Sturmey specialist.)

In the meantime, I'm slumming it and have built up an Alfine wheel. But I'm not sure I know what to do with so many gears... ๐Ÿ™‚

If you hear different I'd like to know.
