Hi all
Sorry that this isn't quite fixed or ss related but I hope someone can help.
I'm building up a vintage (70's) Dawes Super Galaxy in a porteur style & initially was going to build it fixed.
After a bit of thinking I thought it might be good to put a sturmey archer hub on instead. Does anyone have any experience of using these & could point me in the right direction? I used to have one on an old Grifter but can't remember much about it other than twisting something on the cable to adjust it! My first question is around dropout spacing - on the Dawes this is 120 - do sturmeys come with different skewer sizes - do they even have a skewer?
Any help appreciated.
