Hi All, I just picked up a bike which came with a 7 speed Shimano hub gear with coaster brake, a Shimano Nexus SG-7C22 Inter 7 hub. This was originally paired with a Shimano SB-7S40 brake lever/twist gear shifter combo unit.
The shifter is damaged beyond repair though and I've found an exact replacement, but my question is can I use a different 7 speed Nexus shifter with this specific hub? Possibly a different 7 speed Nexus twist shifter or preferably a 7 speed trigger shifter?
I've no idea about the indexing on hub gears, but I don't really like twist shifters and would also like to fit a separate better lever to run a v-brake, as the original front brake is a cantilever set up.
Any help would be really appreciated, cheers Kev.
